The Truth
March 26, 2020

Soft-on-crime policies invariably lead to a spike in crime.  This dynamic is especially important now that a number of radical soft-on-crime prosecutors have been elected around the country.  Here are some of the stories in the news, recently:
 
Mayor Bill de Blasio admitted that a new bail reform law has caused crime rates to go up in New York City since the first of the year. The heavily criticized law prevents judges from setting bail in most misdemeanor and nonviolent felony cases.  New York Post
 
Defendants let out under New York City’s no-bail law include a hate crime suspect who attacked a fourth woman after being released following an arrest for attacking 3 Jewish women.  Another defendant, an alleged bank robber, apparently robbed a fifth bank after being let out for robbing 4 banks.  No gun was used, so he was released under the new law.  He reportedly said: “I can’t believe they let me out.  What were they thinking?”  Indeed.  BizPac Review
 
The homicide rates in several cities have gone up under progressive social reform DAs.  Philadelphia’s is the highest in over a decade and violent crime there is up 5 percent overall.  Epoch Times
 
A radical soft-on-crime prosecutor in St. Louis refused to charge a suspect who confessed to shooting a 7-year-old boy.  The prosecutor claimed she could not determine who was responsible for the child’s death despite the confession.  This prosecutor took campaign funds from the soft-on-crime movement and had two dozen attorneys quit the prosecutor’s office after she was elected.  Gateway Pundit
 
A few years ago, California reduced the penalties for shoplifting. Subsequently, the number of “mass grab and dash” thefts steadily increased.  These organized thefts involve large numbers of people entering a store at the same time, taking what they want, and fleeing.  Hot Air

Despite what some believe, 60 percent of inmates are in state prisons for violent crimes or weapons offenses, including  murder, rape, assault, robbery, and burglary.  This is four times the number convicted only of drug offenses.  Manhattan Institute
