to act on impulse to act on risky behalf for the e months ago and be 1rush8 to peer pressure and stress if so important we have a specialized result for young adults in the system our current difficulties in juvenile system are ill-suited for an age group that compromises 10 percent but 24 percent of our offenders and that is why we need funds for the young adult it offenders beginning with a young court. (clapping.) yes, thank you this is smart this is not only socially responsible but economically be responsible the alternative $612,000 in prison

and hundreds of thousands of dollars and police work and the impact on victims is completely unacceptable we know what the solutions are yet we continue to do the things we know that don't work you know, i once heard that the independence of insanity is doing the same thing same thing over and over and expecting a different result yet we do that in the hall of justice every single day we need to turn that around and we have to do it together you know in spite of the great things to reduce violate crime and recidivism and rehab offenders we must not lose site of the criminal behavior and the

victims in particular we must seek to restore victim safety and help them recover from the tram of victimization public safety is also depends on reducing the victimization my office provides victims and a witness of crime with free comprehensive support in 45 languages from assistance psychological therapy yes unfortunately sometimes covering burial examiners in 2014 the number of victims we sever reached straggling 6 thousand 3 hundred and 4 and since i took office in naivete the number of victims we serve has increased 24 percent this is important we're doing more than ever to reach the victims when i first dictate da

the outcomes the victims had to go to the hall of justice most people wouldn't it is intavment unfrill place we moved our services to the community and starting to work with victims and inform the services we provide and this ability in your community when populations are traditionally hesitate tonight at that seek help from law enforcement victims today are more aware than ever that the services are here and know how to find them but we continue to build the trust and have people more access to the services that are sings things in the infrastructure that must be over ahold to reach today's population that's why i'm asking the mayor and the board to

increase the funding for victims we must insure that the victims can get their lives together again (clapping) and i'm also pleased to say we're not limiting our work to the county but working in current concert the legislators we'll be introducing legislation this this year that makes significant changes to the systems to make sure that the victims get the services they need and the decisions are fundamental to make sure they get the cords from their leopards how can you help someone if you don't know who you're helping or to insure the time process of appeals and the reimbursements so victims are not reindividual will seeking

payment for as a result of crime (clapping) you know when i took office in 2011, i made a really clear t i dictated myself to the criminal justice system i believe the system was broken my thirty years in law enforcement i've learned the it can be indemnify difficult to reform a system for example, when i looked to reform a 3 strikes allow lieu to make sure we were not sending people to prison for the rest of their lives for a low office many a disagree with me he of those criticized and often perp attacked any critics suggested the result would be a massive crime epidemic

that'll the board saw there the rhetoric and since proposition of 36 only 1.3 percent of those who were released because of the 3 strike reform were returned to prison that the law of recidivism in the entire system thank you. (clapping.) >> now i'm proud this office is an innovation incubator and throughout the criminal justice 1278 one the principle areas that needs reforms in the way we utilize technology to get the job done 21st century criminal with 20th century or 19th century system is not successful awhile i upgrade our office

technology we do more to harness the power of item to help you often remind people in the office research is 10 percent of the ofrpz in the city are responsible for 90 percent of the problems so in order to get the resources on the individuals most responsible for driving crime i created the kriemd strategic this is a opted that focuses on the difficult changes for information sharing and calls coordination with the law enforcement community partners the violence this past year sees how critical to be engaged to stop the dangers criminals in their track from reducing crime to identifying major gang conspiracy it's the data analysis process that allows us to identify the crime drivers for example recently, we charged an individual with a

single robber and they went on to work with the prosecutor handicapping be the case and the circumstances surrounding the case for the vehicle used and the errors we determined this person was involved in if 4 other robberies this is the kind of work we're doing and hope in this case we'll be able to charge this and incapacitate sate this person for a long period of time (clapping) you know this unit is not simply identified of offering patterns of offenders they're creating a tool for the prosecutors a system is an offender is identified as a crime driver and picked up in our community by

law enforcement the prosecutors now are accelerated that allows them to take appropriate steps are taken in order to charge this individual and reflected their full picture as opposed to a simple event we're paying attention to those major overthinks or ofrpz when we get picked up we're usings this for example the system will tell us when a witness or a person of interest comes into contact with law enforcement sometimes the person get into the weeds the system is hesitate tanned to come to us that work is in process the bottom line we can't afford to wait for crime to occur we must prevent the pain and an gibberish and grief that

far too many mothers are experienced in the wake of violence we're using this to stop crime a crime prevented is infinitely better than the crime approve or disapprove. >> (clapping.) this is an innovative work and more sustainable approach to public safety beginning the model of success in a system that takes that is so steep in tradition takes courage and conviction so; right we must ask ourselves in 20 or 50 years under now dollars thrill be perpetrators had will continue those are danger people and must

be incarcerated but what to begin our work not how we deal what the screening of violent people are or that are a small percentage of our population work is going to be defined what how we deal with virgin every individual that comes into contact with our person that will be defined as public safety we choose to category or choose to rehab on them thank you or we choose to keep low level offenders out of the jail like proposition 47 or revert to the old propositions in the year that led this in addition to counterpart more people than

office of the city administrator any ottawa other developed nation in the world do we royals that one of every one hundred person has been in jail one time in their life is immoral in this office we're leading by example and being followed we're redefining our immensely and we're looking for different ways to work with the victims to make sure we make that we repair the harm and reduce the victimization notice is off the table criminal justice system really needs on over hall this office is under the hood making the major adjustments we are reducing crime we're rugby incarceration and reducing recidivism but we need you to work with us this is not the

work of only the prosecutors this is a work that takes an entire village and the modern off hallway the criminal justice systems there will be millions of dollars in savings let's move the money from our prison system and put it into our schools. >> yeah. (clapping.) >> that is the model that creates a sustainable public safety solution it is not the pluss of law enforcement or is prosecutors it should be the absence of crime the presence of good people using the open space that independence the public safety in the community there will also be working for us i recognize that but that shouldn't be what independence us in order to create safety if this investment

that will make us safe it's investing in the population that are most at risk that keeps people out of the system and the investment that insures our system it economically and socially sustainable transforming the justice the idea we can reduce crime and reduce our prison polyps by helping ofrpz to change their livelihood's makes the cycle of crime it is a reality we're living here in san francisco that the men and women of this office are doing everyday boo through innovation and the reforms that's the result of redefining the success of prosecutors thank you for your information and i want to thank you all nor getting into the hood in transforming our

one basketball team and this is the one team. we are the bay area's team. you think about it whether it be from napa and sonoma all the way down to fresno to sacramento and tahoe, san jose, oakland and san francisco, our new home. this is really something where millions and millions of people come together for one squad. this happens to be at 36 and 6, the best team in the nba. [ cheers and applause ] we always say about coming to a warrior game and the crowd with this collective bay area molestation lestation mojo that our players feel it and if you were there friday night to see clay thompson to go from 37 and

a quarter. i know we are worried about the san andreas fault but that building levi taetd on its own. it's so important to the warriors. if you think of san francisco with the largest population of chinese outside of mainland china. it becomes a key part of who our fan base is and we reach out to our fan base of all races, carried, ethnicity. really for china this is a place where we the warriors have traveled. harris and damion has traveled. i have traveled with the olympics. it really shows you

how the nba can be identified on a global bases. what i found out in china is that every city in china must have a basketball court. that's by state law. no matter where you are in beijing, shanghai, places the warriors have visited or the agricultural areas there is always a basketball and always someone like tramd green is. we have an account for the very first team to get involved with social media, internationally in china. it's important to us. we have a special unveiling today that links the warriors specifically with something very special in the chinese new years. >> let's hear from eric welch. >> let's hear it for bob.

[ applause ] . >> we are going to have some fun today but i want to do something a little serious from the beginning. we are at the betty young recreation center and we are known for the history with the warriors and you need to know who betty was. she was a flight attendant who took off from a flight from boston. the first flight that hit the world trade center building and somehow during that flight she had the presence of mind to be the one communicating to the people on the ground what was happening, who had been the perpetrators of this horrible event and showed so much strength and courage. she was born in san francisco, she grew up here in chinatown and she's a true american hero. it's important that you remember

that. thank you. [ applause ] >> is her sister here? where is she? right there. stand up. thank you very much for being here today. thank you. [ applause ] >> so today we are here to recognize and to celebrate the importance of the chinese community to the golden state warriors, how about that. is that worth a round of applause? we are the bay area's team and i'm sure you know that three of the five largest asian communities in the united states are right here in the bay area, in san francisco, oakland and in san jose. you may or may not know that this today's nba 20 percent of the players on our nba rosters come from outside of the united states. no more

important than in the history of -- has opened a whole new area of basketball and interest in the nba in china and everybody will forever be indebted to yaw to keep people's mind in china to enjoy the nba and basketball more than ever before. in the last four 4 years we have staged that the warriors are asian heritage night and we have a special celebration for chinese new year. we would like to think of ourselves as innovators, we like to think of new things. not all of them work, but we would like to try them and we want to make everything a better experience. and we have a team to introduce the short sleeve jerseys. that's coming up in just a moment. today is

an at some point to celebrate our relationship with the chinese community because we are going to make a little bit of history. the warriors and rockets are going to unveil a special uniform they are going to wear on the court in honor of chinese new year. [ applause ] . so we have two very appropriate representative. not only are they two of our star players in the starting lineup but two players that not only traveled to china with the warriors but they also on their own taken trips to china and been involved in the culture of china and met the people of china and have on their own time understood the connection between china and the bay area. so without further a do, we would like to ask barnes and green to get up.

this is where the drum roll comes. and unveil the uniforms that the warriors will be wearing this celebration of the chinese new year. go for it. [ cheers and applause ] wait. there is more. >> wow. >> all right. very nice. how about that. thank you, guys. back to you, bob. >> now, as exciting as it is to see harrison and dramon when we left the warriors, it was difficult because we had to leave the other warriors and we left the guys standing on the curb very upset that they were not chosen to wear the chinese new year

jersey. these are great. first and foremost is where to get them? >> thanks for asking, bob. >> that was a trick. >> starting right now you can go to warriors.com and preorder these jerseys. the first game is on the 20th against the san antonio spurs. the shop will be full of chinese new year jerseys and if you travel to travel they will be available there too. >> we are g -- going to wear these four times, they are going to be broadcast here and in china. i will again the broadcast with ni how. going to china, you have gone a couple times with the team but you also

went on your own. tell me what struck you with the chinese people and the fervent and interest in the nba baseball? >> actually i have been three times. i also went with u.s.a basketball. the mannerism and their appreciation for you to come to their country just to play basketball, i mean, they will give you the world there. just the mannerisms and they make you feel like one of their own and you can't thank them enough. coming to the bay area, my rookie year, coming from michigan state. i was so homesick. so to go all the way to china, i was homesick in a day but they make you feel at home with their mannerism and appreciation. i can't thank coach enough. [ cheers and applause ] >> harrison, does it give you an idea

of how maybe small the world is that a dramon green and harrison, and the knowledge that people had about basketball. they knew about teams and players and the whole bit. >> i think that was one of the most surprising thing about china is how knowledgeable they were of the teams and they knew about our coaching staff and how we played and they tried to imitate how we do our fast breaks and how wild and the energy that we are. that was great to see. not only do our fans here recognize but the people in china and they really do care. >> rick, initially with the dream team, the idea was to really make the nba available on a global

basis. nothing says more global than china and that fervent basketball. your linkage between the nba and china. what's been your experience between now and 2015 that highways taken leaps and bounds in the next century of it? >> already today china represents the largest market in basketball than anywhere else in the world. it's the only country in the world where we set another company, nba china to grow the sport of basketball in one country. that doesn't exist any where else in the world. longer term, we give all the credit to yaw and the houston rockets for establishing the connection with the nba but over time, the golden state warriors has to be the chinese team that we look to because of the amazing

chinese population here. so long-term, we want to be china's team. >> tell me about the uniforms themselves. tell me about the design. i see the warriors slate a little bit like on saturday. there is a lot of different accents and color teams. what was that in >> slate is a lucky color for the warriors, we are 5-0 on our saturday night game. we never lost a game when we were wearing the slate color for the jerseys and yellow a tip of the hat to china and of course warriors have yellow in our color scheme too. on the shoel on the waste band you see celebrating the year 2015, the year of the goat. i just want you to
