Crime is down

Homicide is down 30% year-to-date in DC this year. Violent crime down 35%.Is this news to you? Probably, because most media focuses on stoking fear about crime through anecdote, rather than actual data

With only two weeks left in the year, Philly is on track to have its lowest number of homicides in a DECADE, and its third-best year since 2007.Down 37% since last year, down FIFTY PERCENT since 2022.The entire Covid spike, absolutely wiped out.And the coverage? Basically crickets.
