The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) published "Just the Facts" factsheet. In the April 2020 issue, the Institute addressed Felony Arrests in California. Some key facts were felony arrests dropped after Prop 47 on the November 2014 ballot. Prop 47 reclassified many lower-level drug and property offenses from felonies to misdemeanors. The factsheet also shared that more significant racial/ethnic discrepancies appear in densely populated regions.

The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank. PPIC is dedicated to informing and improving public policy in California through independent, objective, nonpartisan research.
