While Washington DC is seeing a drop in overall crime by 18%( mostly due to a reduction in both sex abuse/theft) which is GOOD, DC is still straddled with increasing crime from assault with a deadly weapon(5% increase) & a whopping 47% increase in motor vehicle theft. To add to this mayhem there has been a 20% increase in the homicide rate. DC police chief Peter Newsham blames the increase in homicide on an increase in illegal firearms & had previously blamed the homicide problem on release of violent gun offenders back into the community. What can be done in the opinion of my fellow board members to eliminate this endless cycle of crime especially the violent crimes. I mean we just lost a one year old toddler to a round fired into a vehicle that took out that little tyke which is completely unacceptable @ least in a civilized society.

That is easy to answer.....keep the democrat party judges, prosecutors and politicians from releasing violent, known, gun offenders over and over again.......stop that and you decrease violent crime by about 95%.

The stark relationship between income inequality and crime

During the depression crime didn't go up.......today you have fatherless homes and that is what causes the crime.

Go to any prison and you will find the majority of criminals didn't have fathers growing up....broken homes cause crime, not poverty.

So you move from confusing association for cause and effect to using anecdotal evidence
