>"Stopping/preventing crime is handled by police and other organizations." How do you expect police to stop and prevent crime? As someone who has been a victim of violent crime, I don't know what the police could have done to prevent it, short of being everywhere all the time. >"So if the problem is "there is too much crime in SF", changing the DA themselves isn't going to do much in the short term (perhaps in the long term though, with more people locked up)." I was under the impression that District Attorneys are meant to act as part of a 'feedback system', by disincentivizing crime, protecting the public by imprisoning dangerous people, and providing the opportunity for corrections. I am not sure which, if any role DAs actually accomplish.
