What do you say to that?\u201d the reporter asked, to which Newsom responded, \u201cYeah \u2026 the evidence doesn\u2019t back it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last three decades we have seen a significant decline in crime in the state,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/07\/21\/kamala-harris-campaign-gavin-newsom-recall-effort\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Newsom<\/a>, who faces a recall election, told the reporter. \u201cYou are seeing crime increase in red states that had no criminal justice reform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.ca.gov\/prop47.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proposition 47<\/a>, also known as \u201cThe Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act\u201d was a California initiative that brought major changes to felony sentencing laws. It was part of several so-called criminal justice reforms carried out by the state\u2019s Democrat-controlled government.<\/p>\n<p>The Act reclassifies some forms of theft and narcotics possession as misdemeanors instead of felonies. Defendants serving sentences for crimes the proposition reclassified as misdemeanors are allowed to seek resentencing under the proposition. And, defendants who already served their time for the reclassified crimes can, under the Act, seek reclassification on their records.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ppic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/r_0618mbr.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2018 study<\/a> by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC), four years after the ballot initiative was passed, found no proof backing the claim that \u201cviolent crime increased as a result of Proposition 47.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile California saw an uptick in the violent crime rate from 2014 to 2016, this trend appears to have preceded the reform and is due in large part to unrelated changes in crime reporting after 2014,\u201d the study stated. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/07\/06\/san-francisco-california-neiman-marcus-robbery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Video Shows Groups Of Shoplifters Looting Store, Getting Into Getaway Cars)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, the institute found \u201csome evidence that Proposition 47 affected property crime. Statewide, property crime increased after 2014.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the reform had no apparent impact on burglaries or auto thefts, it may have contributed to a rise in larceny thefts, which increased by roughly 9 percent (about 135 more thefts per 100,000 residents) compared to other states. Crime data show that thefts from motor vehicles account for about three-quarters of this increase,\u201d the report stated.<\/p>\n<p>The 2019 average rate of <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2020\/06\/04\/california-dodge-dealership-cars-stolen-videos-san-leandro-george-floyd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">automobile theft<\/a> in California was one per three and a half minutes, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ppic.org\/publication\/crime-trends-in-california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report<\/a> from the California Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n<p>The state has also been suffering from a rise in shoplifting, causing millions of dollars in annual losses incurred by California businesses, forcing Newsom to sign a law Wednesday that would bring back the \u201ccrime of retail theft,\u201d The Associated Press <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/business-health-government-and-politics-california-coronavirus-pandemic-d0c6dc49ef4cd6d05f649a860bd72888\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The state nonetheless has seen a steady decline in violent crime and property crime rates starting around the 1990s, according to calculations of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ppic.org\/publication\/crime-trends-in-california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FBI data<\/a> by the PPIC updated up to 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A senior Los Angeles police union official slammed Democrat California Gov.
