Crime Rate Comparisons

California faces unique challenges with fighting crime -- mostly because our police and sheriff departments are understaffed and funding for resources is generally unstable. To get an idea of how your California city compares with other U.S. cities of comparable population, we invite you to use this tool:

PROPOSITION 6 : SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS ACT

 
Proposition 6 is a comprehensive anti-gang and crime reduction measure that will bring more cops and increased safety to our streets and greater efficiency and accountability to public safety programs and agencies that spend taxpayer money.
 
 

  • It creates tougher punishment for gang crimes, drive-by shooting, meth distribution and victim intimidation;
  • It creates more effective and accountable intervention programs to stop young kids from joining gangs and ruining their lives;
  • It helps victims who have been intimidated by gang criminals and it funds victim-witness protection programs in our communities;
  • It prohibits bail to illegal aliens who are charged with violent or gang crimes;
  • It ensures funding for our local police, sheriff, district attorneys and probation officers – who are the first line of defense in fighting gangs and maintaining peace in our neighborhoods – so that their efforts might be sustained from year to year.
