Los Angeles County saw a notable spike in crime under recent District Attorney George Gascón, who decriminalized a slew of offensives as part of his radical social justice agenda. His soft-on-crime policies proved to be extremely unpopular, even in deep blue L.A., leading to his election defeat in November.
His successor Nathan Hochman has vowed to crack down on crime, saying he will support police and prosecutors.
Los Angeles DA George Gascón was ousted on November 5th, 2024. DA Nathan Hochman was sworn in on December 3, 2024. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's Beverly Hills house was burglarized on February 14th, 2025.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has nearly 1,000 deputy district attorneys (prosecutors). Residential burglary is a first-degree felony under California law and carries a penalty of two, four, or six-years' imprisonment plus a $10,000 fine. California has the three-strike rule which significantly increases sentencing for certain felonies, including residential burglary. Three strikes can result in a 25-year-to-life prison sentence.
