The opposite· 3 of 8

  • Does this shorten or soften prison sentences?-3

    The bill lowers the monetary threshold for damage to federal property, which likely increases the number of offenses subject to criminal prosecution.

  • Would households on low incomes be better off under this?-2

    Lowering the threshold for property damage crimes may disproportionately affect lower-income individuals more easily swept into the criminal justice system for minor damage.

  • Would Black Americans be better off under this?-2

    Decreasing the damage threshold may increase the frequency of criminal charges for lower-income demographics subject to higher policing and prosecution rates.
