LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post: D.C. leaders’ summit on crime should include some introspection By Editor On May 9, 2023 Last updated May 10, 2023 7 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. 7 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
