Blaming an erosion in public safety, California law enforcement and victims’ rights organizations on Monday introduced an initiative that would expand the list of violent crimes and make other changes to a recent series of laws intended to lower the state’s overcrowded prison population.

The proposed measure, backed by a group that includes Assemblyman Jim Cooper, D-Elk Grove, and Sacramento County District Attorney Anne-Marie Schubert, could appear on the November 2018 ballot.
