[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people who minimize these behaviors as normal are probably the same people who minimize [b]rising crime rates[/b] as simply being part of urban living. Neither are normal, nor should they be tolerated. [/quote]

I don't minimize crime, but it's important to contextualize it accurately in history.  The current crime rate started slightly rising in 2015-16, then again slightly in 2019, rose most dramatically during the pandemic in 2020  and has continued to rise since on a much slower scale, now plateauing between 2022-23.  But when we pan out, we see that even after these rises, we're currently at a rate that is the same as 2001, which in turn represents a decline from what it was in the 1990s (which were a decline from the 1980s).  So even with the dramatic rise in crime in 2020 that has persisted, we're still at a lower crime rate than any time between 1990-1996, which was in turn lower than the peak crime rate in 1980.   We got used to historically low crime rates 2002-2014 and should investigate what policies and practices were in place during that time period that lessened crime.[/quote]

Nope.  DC is at 1999 homicide rates and trending worse.  You are minimizing.  [/quote]

There was something like 500 homocides per year when the citiy's population was 500k back then. Didn't realize it had gotten that bad again?[/quote]
