6:09 pm
have increased. but where does recidivism stand in san francisco currently? would you say it's gotten worse, better, or the same? >> i would say when i took over, it was at its height. people did not believe there was any accountable city. they were being released immediately after their arrest. and so the courthouse was a revolving door. and in many ways, despite my office fighting against that, it still is for certain types of crime. that's why i've been so vocal about the judge's impact when it comes to us asking to detain certain drug dealers while their cases are open, we are still seeing that it's taking 3 or 4 arrests for that to happen, and that shouldn't be the case. >> well, coming up next on abc7 news systemwide strike thousand of csu faculty members are expected to walk off the job this week, and the impact it could have on hundreds of thousands of students at and pod problems. the investigation into people living in tiny sleeping pods in downtown san francisco
