[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, it turns out that police *everywhere*, not just DC, are pretty bad at actually solving crimes. Most violent and property crimes in the US remain unsolved. Less than half of violent crimes are solved, and less than 20 percent of property crimes are solved. Murder/manslaughter has the highest clearance rate. It's not funding, it's training and accountability, and how the police see themselves. I don't know what they think their job is, but that's not it. We think they solve crime because we watch TV shows where the police work really hard to investigate and solve crimes and are almost always successful. In real life, they aren't working that hard to solve crimes. [/quote] Or that there is just so much of it and it actually isnt that easy to solve a crime....[/quote]
