Opinion: Annual crime report shows Californians’ fear of increasing crime is justified
Political officeholders at all levels and of all ideological stripes habitually pursue a time-dishonored practice when releasing data.
California’s annual report on crime was released this year on the Friday before what for many would be a four-day, Fourth of July holiday weekend. That’s a tipoff that it would not be good news – and, in fact, it received minimal media attention. One can be certain that had California seen a drop in crime in 2022, Bonta would have trumpeted it as loudly as possible.
At the moment, Californians’ worries about crime appear to be on the upswing, as indicated by one of the Public Policy Institute of California’s periodic polls, conducted just before last fall’s election.
