The people I was referring to were arrested for a variety of offences: break and enter, certainly; theft of auto, or stealing cars; and theft from auto. Sometimes, though not in all cases, there were robbery arrests, violent crime. A lot of that, in comparison to murder, sounds like minor crime, but if you get enough of it, it can really affect an entire city. In my experience, that's the effect of not dealing appropriately with crime.
I'm not referring to some people who may be out of work, who may be homeless and on the streets, and who may be committing some crimes as a form of existence. I'm talking about people who are committing crimes on a habitual basis; if they go to jail for a little bit of time, it's just the cost of doing business.
