[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Carjacking has already been effectively decriminalized in DC so I don’t see how this law makes a difference. Might as well just make it a civil penalty at this point, like a parking ticket.[/quote] In the first 19 days of 2023, there has been 21 carjackings with 2/3 involving guns. There has been only one arrest who was a juvenile offender and contrary to public perception, a DC resident. https://mpdc.dc.gov/page/carjacking[/quote] There have been over 500 carjackings from January 1, 2022 to present. The most common place that carjackings occur is in 6th District (Wards 7/8), followed by the 1st District (Ward 6). The most common age of a carjacking arrestee is 16 years old.[/quote]
