Why the declning Age-Crime curve ?
Well, among other things, sentencing is kinda cumulative.
First, you get a pass 'cause you're too young.
Then its 'cause it's your first offense.
Then, you get parole early because you're 'basically a good kid gone wrong'.
Then the judges strt referring to you as a repeat offender.
Then a career criminal.
And THEN you decide it's time to go straight-ish.
And Lisa Gladden's bill to eliminate mandatory minimum sentencing just makes it worse.
