Corbin Carson reports: New data from UC Irvine has found reducing punishments for low-level drug and property offenses did not cause crime t
A study from UC Irvine has concluded lower punishments for certain crimes did not make crime go up. In 20-14 voters approved Prop-47 making several low level drug and property offenses misdemeanors. Charis Kubrin U-C-I Professor of criminology, law and society says the study examined the data after crime went up in 20-15.
Kubrin says the research also shows no other crimes can definitively be linked to the passage of Prop 47.
