[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given the cynicism on this board- and yes, I can am sometimes one of those cynics - wanted to note that there does seem to be some positive movement in terms of crime.

Trending down vs. the same time last year:
	
Homicide:	-36%
Assault w/ a Dangerous Weapon: -34%
Robbery: -4%
Violent Crime Total: -15%
Burglary: -25%
Motor Vehicle Theft: -30%
Theft from vehicle:  -23%
Property Crime Total: -12%
All Crime: -13%

Let's hope this trend continues. Let's also hope that the OAG will actually prosecute with continued pressure! No more catch and release! And that DC gets its irresponsible sh*t together w/ regard to the DC crime lab (little hope on that one, sadly, still seems a mess of a situation)[/quote]

Literally more people are alive now rather than being murdered.

There are people who track MPD activity and criminal activity in DC and it has been bleak, with multiple murders and carjackings every day - but recently there have been days of 0 murder.  The positive change is noticeable.[/quote]
