If criminals are not prosecuted for crime, will that make crime statistics look better?

We are hearing that more and more AG's around the country, are decriminalizing crimes.

My theory is, they want the stats to look better in the future. If they don't arrest, or prosecute,
the crime rate statistics will ALWAYS look better, and the politicians in charge will be seen as
heros. Please note: this only only happening in Blue cities and states, with high crime.

Your wrong about blue States. I have lived and worked in red states like Texas and Wyoming. It doesn't happen if it doesn't get reported in red States.

That's the biggest difference between the two. Far more blue states are trying to do something than the red States. To do anything it needs to get reported, FIRST!

You can't prosecute if it's not even looked at. And to do that it takes money that the reds states refuse to tax!
