But it's up in formerly safe neighborhoods like Woodley Park. The predators are migrating.

Come on. Since Jan. 1, there have been nine incidents of violent crime within 1,500 feet of 2800 Connecticut Ave. NW. That's up from seven incidents in the same 2016 span. So yes, it's "up." By two incidents. (Source: DC Crime Map)

Meanwhile, property crime is way down year-over-year for the same parameters, as is total crime.

"Formerly safe neighborhoods like Woodley Park" is perhaps the most ridiculous sentence ever posted on these boards, and that's saying something. You probably have a better chance of getting hit by lightning in Woodley Park than being the victim of a violent crime.

Three violent crimes in a month committed by some of DC's "finest youth" who are roaming to Woodley Park as their new hunting ground. I don't think that lightening has struck so frequently.

Um.. hearing gunshots is not the same as a violent crime being committed (have you ever lived in a real city?). And there was a purse snatching. And some kids vandalized McDonalds and CVS. What violent crimes are you talking about again?

You’re an imbecile if you can’t understand that hearing gunshots correlates positively with incidents of violent crime.

Nice try. Shooting a gun is not in itself a violent crime. So what were those three violent crimes again?

Of course it isn't but it's indicative of culture prone to violence and violent crime. Do you think there are regular gunshots heard in safe neighborhoods? Good lord you're a simpleton.

Right now local DC government resembles the demographics of Nigeria, not DC.

Because there are more African Americans in office and most crimes in the district are by African Americans.

Perhaps you're accustomed to gunshots. In our Atlanta neighborhood, we've never heard a gunshot in the 12 years we've lived here.

Its true that a neighborhood that has gunshots regularly, year round, is likely also one that has a lot of violent crime.

But its NOT true that an otherwise safe that has had a few gunshots in the last month is currently experiencing a wave of violent crime.

Throughout 2017, crime continued to decrease in Washington, DC, with a 22 percent reduction in violent crime, a 9 percent reduction in property crime, and an 11 percent decrease in total crime. Since 2014, violent crime has decreased by 28 percent, property crime has decreased by 11 percent, and total crime has decreased by 14 percent.

I don't think all crimes are reported.

So you're like, "Screw the stats crime has gotten worse people just aren't saying anything because DC is soft on crime and they know reporting it won't make a difference!!"

Too many Blacks dont want to put other blacks in jail goes with the council picture too they know their constituency. Also why the rehabilitation act never got serious reform. Remember the post series last year. Almost nothing changed. Don't want little Tyrone going away in jail because there are tons of people related to him in DC. Sad because before you know it Tyrone is dead but hey thats what majority of DC wants

Juveniles know DC is a joke from the joke school system that you will still graduate regardless to the joke rehabilitation act slap on the wrist for multiple crimes to the joke atv/motrocycle enforcement where these little thugs can run wild in the streets with no fear or retribution

You would think whites would be able to do something about this with the increased numbers, you don't call them bleeding heart liberals for nothing. Sadly its takes them literally bleeding from a crime before they finally wake-up. The worst are the lawyers who actively campaign against having normal crime regulations not even tough on crime just normal on crime. Again people only change their tune when they are victims themselves. Sad

Good news is the overall crime rate in DC is trending downard that's largely due to gentrification. The days of feeling unsafe in DC are long gone thankfully. Still too many juveniles know they can get away with anything which sets them up for failure when they finally have to deal with real authority and consequences later in life say trying to hold down a job for example.
