If DC really wanted to reduce violent crime these 500 people would already be in jail. Time’s up.

You cannot incarcerate your way out of the city’s crime problem. Full stop

Because he currently lives in D.C. and it’s our nation’s capitol. How many foreign dignitaries and tourists go to Peoria?

How many foreign dignitaries and tourists go to ward 8?

I know that gets said, but in all seriousness, why not?

DP. The US has one of the highest rates of incarcerated people IN THE WORLD*. If incarceration worked, we should be one of the safest countries in the world. But we're not. Please explain how incarcerating more people would help DC.

The top ten countries with the highest incarceration rates per 100,000 population, based on the most recent available data:

El Salvador: 1,659
Cuba: 794
Rwanda: 637
Turkmenistan: 576
American Samoa: 538
United States: 531
Tonga: 516
Panama: 522
Guam: 475
Uruguay: 449

Let’s not overlook the fact these 500 are people!

They need, and have a right, to wrap-around services. That is the only way this issue gets solved.

+1. If you arrest and incarcerate these folks, you will keep finding more folks to arrest and incarcerate. Eventually, everyone will be in prison. Is that what you want?

Every DC leader, from the Chief of Police to Mayor Bowser to every single member of the council agree on this fact:

you cannot incarcerate your way out of the city’s so-called “crime” problem.

Yes, crime is bad in backwater depressed cities. Should we be comparing the nation’s capital to them? Shouldn’t we be holding the nation’s capital to a standard for safety that’s as high as….The Bronx?

The Bronx has twice as many people as DC and 64 murders this year. Yes, you are reading that correctly. The Bronx has 1.4 million people and 64 murders so far in 2025. So please save me this DC is safe garbage.

Yes, you can. It worked in NYC in the 1990’s. The police measure that most consistently reduces crime is the arrest rate of those involved in crime. The deterrent effect is a force multiplier that cities with a police shortage, like DC, desperately need.

We have this trivial thing called the Constitution. Conservatives used to care about it, well, they only really cared about the 2nd Amendment. But the NYC police were ruled appropriately to have been consistently violating the 4th Amendment with broken windows policing. That's why they stopped using it.
