I live in AZ and not even a week after my dad died someone broke into his house when we called the cops and told them our neighbors witnessed it they didn't even bother to go get there statement they just sat in their car laughing to each other while writing their report while my mother was hysterical even when given funding most cops couldn't be bothered

[@the19kings]

God AZ cops are terrible. Once I worked at a Hotel, and the cops were called on someone whose neighboring room heard slamming, and screaming through the walls. Cops showed up, and left without even talking to me as the night auditor, when I was trying to figure out what the hell happened. Despite telling me they would let me know after they were done. Also they shot a man in a wheelchair in the back 9 times just recently.

This is a very ignorant comment. Even if people are caught and convicted for theft, their time in prison for under $950 worth of goods is never anything close to 15 years. Most of the time it's not even prison time, it's just a simple court case and a fine. It's better not to exagerate something like that and misinform people.

So I love golf, but I'm not rich so I cant really ever afford to get good at it. I'm a real weekend warrior lol. My golf clubs are my dad's old ones. They are really nice clubs and my wife bought me a golf bag for Christmas last year that I also love (well loved I guess). A few months ago my clubs got stolen out of my truck. I got home late and forgot to take them in. It's an old truck so they just popped the lock and took them. I called the cops and all they told me to do was go check pawn shops and I never heard from them again. I haven't played golf since because I don't think I'll really be able to afford new clubs any time soon. Cops don't care about anything. They even sounded annoyed when I talked to them.

[@aesanonymous8936]

Oh no, you will one day!!! We putting it out into the universe you'll get an even better set one day, soon. Like 15 years ago my mom had her tips ripped from her hand at work, the police told her they couldn't do anything cause they didn't see it, and then tried to arrest her cause they were from the city over that does their dates day/month/year but we do month/day/year. They were to stupid to realize that and accused my mom or lying about her last arrest on her record lmao. So she got robbed, accused of lying, almost arrested, then never got her money back. That pretty much sums up every interactions she's had her whole life and she is a white woman (I'm mixed). Cops do not give af about you unless you got status, power, or money.

@@gregoryferber3231 I don't know anything about that. To be honest I've been pretty down since it happened. My dad gave me the clubs when he was sick with cancer and my wife bought me the bag last year since I had been playing with one that was pretty beat up to put it lightly. I guess they had a lot of sentimental value. She doesn't have a lot of money and spent a large part of her paycheck getting me a real bag. I didn't tell her they were stolen until a week after because I felt so bad for her and embarrassed I left them in my truck.

[@betterthanrae8137]

Like, what is the counter here? Is it better to just keep non violent offenders locked up forever at taxpayers expense? The recidivism rate is high because of the apathetic private prison industry, conditions inside the prisons and the court systems that create catch 22 situations for people who are going through difficult times, neither of which are the fault of the largely impoverished public who would choose to have better lives if they could.

[@granudisimo]

You also forgot to mention how this shit turns prisons into literal crime colleges, where a non violent drug offender learns some gang shit to sell drugs more efficiently than before and in more dangerous territories, since being labeled a convict makes it trickier to earn an honest living once you come out (and your certain loss of acquisitive power would anyway force you to move to more dangerous parts of town, where rent is cheaper and business owners, by necessity of their surrounding demographics, tend to be less picky about who they hire, since it means some of them might be ex-cons themselves) Such incentivisation of recidivism can justify police militarization as well as other ways of slowly installing a police state. Or TL;DR: Corruption and fascism are part of a self perpetuating ecosystem inhabited by the greedy and the power hungry. Seems you haven't forgotten about it now that I've read your post again and saw you mention recidivism caused by prison conditions. I'm sorry, I just wanted to elaborate and got carried away.

i worked in retail for a short time during the holiday season. One day my supervisor told me that number one most stolen type of item was from Section O/infant and toddler care department. From clothes to shoes to diapers. Basically anything related to the needs of very young children gets nabbed from the shelves all the time. Our high-value electronics were never touched, always locked by the manager, but a lot of the shelves in the infant section were always some level of empty and hard to keep in stock. To be honest, I almost cried when I heard that fact. And while shoes were stolen pretty frequently from my experience, it was always *school-age to very young children's shoes*. People don't usually steal things from malice but from desperation, this idea that crime is only done by "evil people who need to rot in jail" is a myth and it's really harmful to any kind of restorative justice.

These businesses don't even care because they can file insurance claims for the losses. They definitely overestimate their losses in order to get more out of the insurance company.

The song "institutionalized" by Kendrick Lamar summarizes this whole crime thing up perfectly, "If I was president, Id pay my mamas rent, free my homies n them, bullet proof my chevy doors lay in the white house and get high." What Kendrick is saying, specifically in the context of this song, is that your priorities, your desires, how you think and relax, are shaped by the time you spend being poor, by capitalism. In his case its being "trapped inside the ghetto." Peoples priorities when they are poor are to get shit, to have nice things, because that's all you can have when every day fucking sucks all the time. So when your state (aka government body) is poor, when you don't address the broken housing market or do anything but pass band-aid compliance theatre bills (this is a democrat problem yes but the republicans just want to commit poverty-cide so no im not saying conservatism fixes this) you end up with shit like this happening. The California democrats keep up a song and dance, but never once intended to actually amend poverty-factors in the state because that would mean spitting in the eyes of the very corporate benefactors that line their pockets and pay for their Little Saint James flight tickets.
