Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has expressed a stance on criminal prosecution, advocating for a soft-on-crime agenda. She supports a policy that would decline prosecution for certain offenses. Here are the details:
- Shoplifting
- Larceny
- Disorderly conduct
- Receiving stolen property
- Driving with a suspended license
- Breaking and entering with property damage
- Wanton and malicious destruction of property
- Threats
- Minor in possession of alcohol
- Marijuana possession
- Possession with intent to distribute
- Non-marijuana drug possession
These crimes are included in a list that the former Suffolk County district attorney, Rachael Rollins, proposed to decline for prosecution. Mayor Wu’s position aligns with this approach, which has generated debate and discussion.
