Reducing incarceration in 2020 did not lead to increase in overall crime - LOL

Reducing incarceration in 2020 did not lead to increase in overall crime in Baton Rouge, study finds
LINK
Despite the fact that Baton Rouge experienced its most murderous year on record in 2020, a decrease in incarceration rates during the pandemic did not lead to an increase in overall crimes rates, a new study found.
The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council — a coalition of local law enforcement agencies — commissioned the study, which examined the pandemic’s impact on crime, arrests and jail population in East Baton Rouge Parish and 10 other jurisdictions throughout the nation. According to the JFA Institute, which authored the report for the CJCC, data from January 2019 to December 2020 showed “a clear, consistent pattern” of crime and jail populations declining in tandem.
quote:
In Baton Rouge, which saw its murder rate jump from 81 homicides in 2019 to an all-time high of 114 killings in 2020, those efforts included making fewer misdemeanor and traffic arrests, halting evictions and suspending court hearings.
quote:
(The policies) did change the way we handled certain calls,” Baton Rouge Police Department spokesman Sgt. L’Jean McKneely said. “We were very selective with who we placed in jail.”
The CJCC study also looked at crime trends in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania; Charleston County, South Carolina; Cook and Lake counties in Illinois; Los Angeles and San Francisco counties in California; Orleans Parish, Louisiana; Pennington County, South Dakota; Spokane County, Washington and St. Louis County, Missouri. Analysis of all 11 jurisdictions showed that despite concerns releasing inmates would endanger the public, shrinking incarceration rates had relatively little impact on reported crime rates last year.
So the lack of enforcement after the 2020 riots DID NOT lead to higher crime rates.
What you are seeing and experiencing in your community is only in your imagination. And even so, it isn't not caused by our catastrophic policy failures. It's caused by something else entirely. Probably white supremacy.

“While it is still too early to say whether laxed release (and) less booking policies are effective and overall safe for EBR, we can still celebrate small successes and collaborations,” East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore III wrote in an email to The Advocate.
quote:
The DA also noted that there may be more to the study’s data than meets the eye.
“Some local numbers do seem to suggest that lower calls for service does not mean crime is not, in fact, occurring,” Moore said. “For example, we know from ShotSpotter (a gunshot detection system) data that only 20 percent of shots fired are called into police. I would assume that the same is true for many other crimes.”

Remain calm, all is well

So we have less overall crime but recording breaking numbers of the crime everyone cares about. Like murders and carjackings.

If you don’t arrest people for crimes they commit, the crime rate goes down. Amazing.

Only a libtard would be naive and brainwashed enough to believe this.

This is why no one trusts the media or their own government.
If your policies are an abject failure, commission a study that will deflect blame and attention from them.

I’ve been saying it for months - the short term result of all of these defund movements will be a drop in crime rates. Not because less crime is happening, but because laws aren’t being enforced and enforcement units are no longer able to proactively police.
I’ve got two really good friends that work for Austin PD - one of them is black. You should hear them talk about this. It’s an absolute shite show. They literally do no proactive policing unless they receive a call. Drug busts, prostitution busts, sex trafficking, etc... Nada. They can’t do anything about it.

That’s not what the study showed. Murder can’t be ignored. But other crime can be. Stores being closed and people staying home naturally lowered the armed burglary numbers but other than that it was simply a matter of police not enforcing laws like traffic and drugs.

Kind of like how not everyone is testing for Covid until they get a positive anymore.
Cases are down.

You know what else doesn’t lead to an overall increase in crime? Not reporting crimes either because the cops fudge things or no one bothers.
Crime rate doesn’t increase even if the murder rate spikes. If

The only way Chicago can reduce its crime rate is by not enforcing the laws and making arrests.
They can't look the other way for murders and rapes - both of which are way up. But they do look the other way for other crimes. So while people are abandoning neighborhoods in droves because of skyrocketing crime, the actual crime rates indicate that everything is improving.

According to our policy makers....if the police don't make an arrest, it's all in your imagination.

That’s such a misleading title. It should read that reduced incarceration rates did not lead to higher arrest rates in 2020.
Crimes can be committed without an arrest.

None of that is "violent", but it definitely wrecks neighborhoods. People don't want to live next to that, and the neighborhood (and eventually the city) suffers blight when they move on.
Weak on crime = Tough on neighborhoods

So if the cops don’t make an arrest or if no one is charged, the crime didn’t happen. Got it.
Posted on 7/20/21 at 8:35 am to goofball
So basically crime is still taking place (at least with murders) at a higher rate...but our city leader's have just stopped caring.
If the police don't respond or people involved don't call the cops then I guess the crime didn't happen
