Has Retail or Residential Theft Impacted You?
The legislature has only three weeks remaining, and it seems unlikely that any action will be taken to address the issue of retail theft, despite the recent surge in such incidents. Statewide crime statistics reflect similar problems. Property crime has increased by nearly 10% over the past two years, while overall crime has risen by more than 10% during the same period. It is even more alarming that since Proposition 47 was passed, violent crime rates have surged by over 25% However, there may be some hope on the horizon as rumors suggest an initiative might be introduced with intentions to reform Proposition 47. The proposal being considered lowers the current $950 threshold for a felony conviction. This change would send a clear message that California takes theft seriously and intends to combat it more effectively. It is crucial for small business owners and residents like yourself to contribute your experiences and insights regarding retail or residential theft.
