Progressive criminal justice policies do not work. Period. There is no evidence from anywhere that says that violence interruptors, refusal to prosecute, detain or incarcerate even violent offenders, "restorative justice" and liberal parole policies do anything other than signal to criminals that lawlessness is completely acceptable. How bad does it have to get before the progressive council and AG understand that the way to get crime under control is to actually have unpleasant consequences happen to the people who commit it?

Perception matters because at what point won’t we (DC) be able to get additional resources because out of state teams don’t want to come to a dangerous city.
Yes, when a major "news" source has devoted years to portraying cities in the US as landscapes of smoking rubble populated by criminal sociopaths, some people do become afraid to visit those cities.
Ok now do Popville, which is basically nothing but crime posts now.
Even fking Mexico is warning it’s citizens about DC. https://wjla.com/news/local/dc-crime-mexican-consulate-embassy-warning-hispanic-community-washington-district-homicide-rate-carjackings-armed-robbery-youth-gun-violence-kids-weapons-dangerous-criminals-homeland-security-bowser-metropolitan-police
But there’s no problem of course. It’s just silly Fox News viewers all caught up in right wing hysteria. There is definitely no issue where teens at the age of 14 who are multiple felons are rereleased out on the street as soon as they’ve car jacked someone.

You so want to deny the crime statistics, yet there they are showing massive increases in violent crime and murders. Why are you such an apologist for this problem? This isn’t a foxnews conspiracy. The facts are there and show that the city was much more exposed to violence and related crime.
The city has been testing out novel progressive criminal justice policy, but all it’s done is made the city less safe. What solutions are you proposing? More burying of heads in the sand while car jackings and retail theft occurs unchecked? And don’t say “move to the suburbs!” Because I grew up in the city.

Crime is up everywhere.
Uniformed woke posters with blinders on who are enamored with progressive justice criminal policies and who show up to threads where other people, who see the statistics, and are alarmed at the year over increases in murders and violent crime are annoying.
No dude. Crime is not just up everywhere. It’s up because progressive politicians and das goaded by fear of their liberal constituents or by their own ignorance are passing laws that are so weak that criminals know they can get away with anything and get a slap on the wrist.
Can we please go back to respecting police and prosecuting criminals WHOEVER THEY MAY BE?
So if I point out that Miami FL has a Republican "tough on crime mayor" and still had a massive increase in crime, what then? Remember all those spring break mass shootings they had?
Louisiana has the nations largest prison (Angola) in a red state and all areas in that state are experiencing crime waves. That state has no qualms about chucking you into jail and are still going through it crime wise.
Cool. As crime rises we get to keep reading posts by glib and naive people who continue, EVEN WITH THE OBVIOUS MASSIVE INCREASES IN CRIME STATISTICS, that somehow not prosecuting people and just letting them out will somehow lower crime.

At least this year, crime is not up in Miami.

What the heck is Miami doing that motor vehicle theft is actually down even with the Hyundai/Kia debacle?
Compare to DC with an over 100% year on year increase.

There was a national increase in crime, but per latest stats, DC continues to trend up whereas other cities are trending down. Miami is negligible up, but it's nothing like DC. New Orleans appears down.
https://www.miamidade.gov/police/library/part-1-crimes-ytd-comparison.pdf
YTD violent crime rate in DC: +38% / Miami +3.36%
New Orleans, also with lower homicides, shootings, armed robberies, car jackings (yes car theft is up, but car jackings down). Overall very clearly violent crime down but not sure their aggregate.

Baton Rouge, also appears down:

Please don't dismiss the concerns of DC residents nor ignore the data that DC is trending in the wrong direction.
