LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post: D.C. leaders’ summit on crime should include some introspection By Editor On May 9, 2023 Last updated May 10, 2023 10 Share If all goes as planned, D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) will host a “public safety summit” on Wednesday to address crime in the District. What other choice is there? Violence is on a roll in our nation’s capital. Homicides are up 12 percent over the same time last year. Robberies are up 13 percent; assaults with dangerous weapons up 2 percent; and sexual abuse up 53 percent. Motor vehicle theft has rocketed sky high, registering a 110 percent rise. Citywide, crime has increased 27 percent overall. 10 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
