[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My impression is that crime in DC is driven by a combination of how youth feel (do they have hope) as well as how strictly the law is enforced. “Return to the office” should provide more employment opportunities in DC for youth. It is unclear to me how aggressively the new AUSA will prosecute crime.[/quote] I'm pretty confident that the youth that are responsible for the vast majority of murder and mayhem in DC are unlikely to apply to office internships now that the federal government is back to RTO. I think crime in DC is driven by consequences, not feelings. And when there are no consequences, crime increases exponentially. And when there are harsh consequences, crime will quickly decline. For an extreme example, just look at El Salvador. In 2014, there were 6656 murders in El Salvador. In 2024, there were 114. The government decided to get tough on violent crime, and crime plummeted. Hopefully DC will do the same. [/quote]
