GOP leaders in California are pointing the finger at Democrats after the release of a new report showing that robberies, thefts, and burglaries have been on the rise in recent years.
from the Public Policy Institute of California analyzes retail theft and robberies across 15 of the state’s largest counties. The report, released Tuesday, distinguishes commercial shoplifting from commercial burglary and robberies.
Commercial shoplifting is defined as entering a commercial establishment with the intent to steal property valued at less than $950;concern stolen items valued above that figure. Robberies, on the other hand, are any thefts in which force is threatened and/or used. California state Assembly Republican leader James Gallagher castigated Democrats for creating an environment that has enabled criminals and restricted law enforcement.
"What’s shocking is that despite these new numbers, Democrats are doubling down on the same failed policies that encourage these crimes," Gallagher said."It’s no wonder businesses around the state are giving up and shutting their doors for good."
