What to know: One activist says that the recent increases in crime rates are due to conservative criminal justice reform efforts.
The TPPF Take: No, criminal justice reform isn’t causing the current crime wave.
“The evidence is clear that it is the certainty and not the severity of punishment that deters potential criminals,” notes TPPF’s Brett Tolman. “If you’re worried about public safety, it’s more productive to spend your time improving clearance rates, not bemoaning the elimination of ineffective mandatory minimums for nonviolent offenses.”
