A Yolo County Superior Court judge declined to increase bail for a woman facing new burglary charges, citing her appearance in court as assurance she would return for future proceedings, despite her having seven felony theft priors in the past four years.
Judge Clara Levers denied the defense’s request for the accused to be released on supervised own recognizance, citing concerns about public safety and the accused’s “acute break from reality”.
Murder rates in the US are dropping at an unprecedented rate, with data from the Real Time Crime Index showing a 19% decrease through August 2025, marking the third consecutive year of declines and suggesting a broader trend of falling crime overall.
California experienced a 4.6% decrease in violent crime and an 8.5% decrease in property crime in 2024, according to the Public Policy Institute of California, due to substantial investments in crime prevention and law enforcement.
Preliminary 2024 crime statistics from across California show a decline in both violent and property crime, suggesting that the state may finally be reversing the troubling rise in crime that accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic.
