View the entire video at: http://www.zocalopublicsquare.org/ Los Angeles Police Department Chief Charlie Beck and Pepperdine University economist and policy analyst Angela Hawken discuss California's public safety realignment, which is shifting much of the responsibility for incarceration of non-violent offenders from the state to the county level. Beck criticized it as saving the state money at the cost of cities and counties, while Hawken cited it as an example of California policymakers' tradition of thinking small and acting big.
