Soft on Crime | Full Measure

Today we begin with America’s crime wave. Crime rates are up in many cities around the country, and it seems like every week there are new examples of horrific violence, committed by people who should have been in prison. The alleged New York subway shooter Frank James is reported to have had a lengthy criminal history, including making terroristic threats. The alleged mass shooter in Sacramento, California, who killed six and injured 12 — Smiley Martin — had a violent record including domestic violence and assault. There’s an ongoing debate over where blame lies. Today we investigate whether “Soft on Crime” policies could be at fault or if that’s a figment of political imagination.
