Yes, it affected CA. For full explanation of changes, see McGeorge School of Law website. Their description summary:

"Proposition 21 will require all juveniles age 14 and older to be tried in adult court if accused of murder or specified sex crimes. It makes acts to further a gang�s purpose a crime, and increases penalties for those adults who are convicted of serious or violent felonies. The Proposition adds wiretapping of suspected gang activity to instances where California would allow an order to be issued based on probable cause."

Re: Proposition 21

Your question asks about "rates." Proposition 21 refers to increasing punishment for juveniles and persons prosecuted as gang members. Is this the proposition you are talking about?
