Various diverse groups across the West, who have a disproportional number of its people in prisons, have been championing policies such as defunding the police, and US Democrat DAs, usually put into office by Soros finance, have been going soft on the crimes that diverse people commit. This has led to a massive increase in shop lifting and the new phenomenon of flash mobs simply raiding stores and taking what they want. The goods are not foodstuffs that poor people would be thought to go for, but expensive electronics and designer goods.
Along with this has been a critique of prisons, as a part of the Critical Race Theory attack upon the so-called white legal system. The idea, like defunding the police, is to get rid of prisons, which are seen as racially biased. Of course, this denies agency, and reality. An example is Shivanthi Sathanandan, a US Democrat Party leader, who once called for defunding of the police, but was, sadly, recently carjacked by four men with guns, and she was beaten up. Now she has modified her position, thanked the police who helped, but wants greater gun control. Not much of an improvement, but something.
