Seattle has made a significant policy change by reinstating the jailing of individuals for low-level offenses, including shoplifting and vandalism. This decision ends a four-year period where such crimes were not subject to jail time due to pandemic-related restrictions and jail staffing shortages. Local law enforcement officials believe these stricter measures will help curb the ongoing crime wave that persisted after the pandemic. With new jail agreements and staffing incentives in place, Seattle police are now better equipped to enforce these laws. (nypost.com)
