Crime rates are similar no matter the party in control. The denser the population the more crime in an area because there are more people to commit crimes. Simple as that. Of course, one of the highest correlations to crimes like theft and even to violent crime is socioeconomic imbalance. That is especially true for petty crimes like shoplifting. Maybe we should look into policies related to solving that issue instead of perpetuating socioeconomic imbalance and feeding the prison industrial complex by keeping up our 20% of the world's prison population with 4% of the world's overall population.
