How to tell if somebody learned World Geography in school or from SNL:
"GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?
PALIN: They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."
SNL: Can't be Diomede Islands, say her backyard instead.

To be fair, nobody has been able to definitively say what caused or ended the crime wave that ended shortly after Clinton took office. This has been the focus of endless studies and it's clear we truly do not know why the wave started, or why it stopped. That never stopped Bill Clinton or Rudy Giuliani from taking the credit, however.
Yeah, the connection the police are trying to make between non-violent early release and violent crime is not founded in any real data.
There is a back story here. Notice this key phrase:
There are battles up and down California for the last 10 years about police funding and pension plans, which have caused many forces to deplete their patrols and reduce hiring. Many police unions got ridiculous pension and retirement guarantees before the financial crash of 2008 and subsequently were forced to re-negotiate them by many municipalities. There is bitterness on the part of officers who feel they were betrayed, and outrage among many citizens who feel that the police took advantage of backroom deals to get unsustainable benefits."The most recent statistics from the U.S. Department of Justice show violent crime rates in some California cities has increased by over 50 percent," said Michele Hanisee, president of the Association of Los Angeles Deputy District Attorneys.
The end result is that many areas have reduced police presence, and the police are trying to sway public opinion to get their funding back to unsustainable levels. This spinning of the non-violent releases has an agenda, and locking up people longer for non-violent crimes does not address the problems.

Not relevant to the timeframe (which btw the graph shows the uptick from around 2013-14)

The 2015 property crime rate of 2,620 per 100,000 residents is up 6.6% from the 50-year low of 2,459 in 2014.A total of 40 of the state’s 58 counties—including 13 of the 15 largest—saw increases in their violent crime rates in 2015. In 21 counties, the violent crime rate increased by more than 10%, while seven counties saw increases of more than 20%. Of the state’s 15 largest counties, only Alameda and San Francisco saw decreases in their violent crime rate (7.6% and 1.4%, respectively)
Literally people should bother reading their sources.
