The San Francisco District Attorney's Office strives to protect public safety in San Francisco by using innovative, evidence-based approaches to address the root causes of crime, support crime survivors, and prevent future offenses. For too long, prosecutors nationwide have promoted mass incarceration and relied on policies that hurt the poor and people of color disproportionately, all the while neglecting the needs of crime victims and our communities.
DA Chesa Boudin rejects those models and instead leads the San Francisco District Attorney's Office on a progressive path forward towards seeking true justice for justice-involved individuals, survivors, and our community overall. This means that under DA Boudin's leadership, the San Francisco District Attorney's Office works to empower survivors of crime while also combating the underlying causes of crime.
In San Francisco, 75% of people booked into jail struggle with substance use, mental health, or both. DA Boudin's policies focus on prioritizing treatment, resources, and support for those whose crimes stem from underlying struggles.

The Victim Services Division (VSD) of the San Francisco District Attorney's Office strives to make the criminal justice system humane and accessible by providing support and assistance to victims and their families in the aftermath of a crime, during criminal prosecution, and after a verdict has been reached.
Even if justice is served in the courtroom, it does not always immediately change the way victims feel in their day-to-day lives afterwards.
Our division provides victims with advocacy, streamlines the process for collecting restitution and recouping compensation for financial losses when possible, and, in general, works tirelessly to support victims regain control over their lives.
