Some states, such as California, have seen dramatic drops in their crime rates since the enactment of the Three-Strikes Law. In 2011, Los Angeles, California reported that crime had decreased by half of the current amount since 1994, which is the same year the Three-Strikes Law was put into place. Although this decrease in crime might be attributed to the enactment of stricter sentences, certain Los Angeles officials have speculated that the drop in crime may also be related to better relationships within the community and better crime-predicting tools.
