Help me study for my Sociology class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

Proposition 47, Criminal Sentences. Misdemeanor Penalties. Initiative Statute.

Proposition 47, Criminal Sentences. Misdemeanor Penalties. Initiative Statute., passed by California voters in 2014, reclassified certain non-violent felonies to misdemeanors. It was designed to reduce overcrowding in our prisons and jails, directing the cost savings to other programs. Some opponents state that the passage of this proposition has allowed more criminals to remain in the community, which has increased the crime rate and is a threat to public safety.
