[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know what’s causing the increase in crime, but I am skeptical that it’s as simple as policing policies. They didn’t have these policies before previous waves of crime. I think it is just as likely that it’s about waves of particular drugs, or the delayed effect of economic conditions, or I don’t know what. Was there a big drop in incarceration rates? I also feel like there has been a big shift in surveillance and other tools to prosecute crimes that had to have an impact. Cell phone records, etc. The carjackings I think are about the changes in theft deterrence. Car thefts are harder to do so carjacking goes way up. That’s a problem but not caused by policing.
