[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC crimes are not prosecuted. They declined to prosecute 67% of local arrests. Philly was only 4% to give an example DC is allowing crime to happen and not chosing to prosecute it they are eventually asking for it and voters are supporting it [/quote] 18.2% are cases in which a victim does not want to assist in the prosecution. According to Graves many of those are low level cases. He offered that one such group of cases is minor domestic violence in which D.C.’s “mandatory arrest” policy mandates police arrest someone. 13.9% are cases in which there is insufficient evidence. 7.2% are not prosecuted due to prosecutorial discretion. 2.9% are declined when prosecutors determine there is an affirmative defense such as self-defense. - WAPO[/quote]
