Why would crime drop from 2017-2022 if BLM or lax prosecutors are to blame? Why us crime also higher today in conservative states and districts if this is a political problem?[/quote]

I lived here in the 90s and there was a general sense that one could stick to certain neighborhoods and be mostly safe. The spirit of lawlessness now pervades the entire city.

The population went up 100k people during that same period. Of course raw numbers would increase. It is also not a linear increase and not linked to any prosecutorial or political changes.[/quote]

In 2022, the DC murder rate was 30 per 100,000 residents. Statistically speaking this isn't any different from DC's 2006 murder rate of 29 per 100,000. As an aside, I moved to DC in 1994; the murder rate that year was 70 per 100,000 residents. Now, that's a statistically significant change.[/quote][/quote]
