California's Most Dangerous Cities - California Globe

California's Most Dangerous Cities - California Globe: Violent crimes and property crime in California is above the national average and continues to climb according to the FBI. Few California cities have been spared the ongoing impacts of rising crime. Most interesting is the FBI graph below showing how crime in California had dropped, then began to rise again after 2014 – the year Proposition 47 was passed, and then Proposition 57 in 2016. Proposition 47 largely decriminalized theft and drug crimes by reducing those crimes and a number of other “non-violent” felonies to misdemeanors; Prop. 57 allows early release for “non-violent offenders,” including rape by intoxication of an unconscious person, human trafficking involving a sex act with minors, arson causing great bodily harm, drive-by shooting, assault with a deadly weapon, and hostage taking.
