Executive Summary:
Between 2009 and 2015, crime rates in most California counties did increase relative to national averages, with the highest increases felt in rural parts of the state. While it is important to remember that correlation does not always imply causation, this time period does coincide with the passage of Assembly Bill 109 and Proposition 47, two controversial measures aimed at reducing state prison populations.
Background:
For this month's map series, the CED performed a deep-dive into county-level crime data to shed light on changes in crime rates and the potential effects of recent public safety legislation on rural northern California counties. Over the last six years, California has implemented two significant measures intended to reduce state prison populations: Assembly Bill 109, and Proposition 47. Assembly Bill 109, passed in 2011 and also known as the 'Public Safety Realignment Initiative', sought to reduce the total number of inmates in state prisons by sending prisoners back to county jails. Proposition 47, passed by California voters in 2015, downgraded the severity of many non-violent offenses such as shoplifting and drug possession from felonies to misdemeanors.
