Justice Research Compiled by 6/2011 Please
California is suffering from a number of economic problems. Criminal justice, in particular, has been impacted by the budget shortfalls
the state is facing. There is, however, an option available to the state which could not only reduce the rate of crime in the state (and thus the costs
incurred in addressing that crime) but also actually generate funding. This option is the imposition of increased taxes on the sale of alcohol.
A recent article in Politics & Government Business contends that California is currently facing a $28 billion budgeting deficit. Criminal justice in the state is just one area
where this budgeting shortfall is being felt. Currently California prisons are severely overcrowded and criminal justice personnel at all levels understaffed and underpaid. Effectively addressing crime in the
state seems to be almost an impossibility given the economic circumstances. Imposing greater taxes on alcohol could be one solution to the budget
