LinkLinksOpinion Jody Kent Lavy in The Post: Despite carjackings, D.C. shouldn’t revert to ineffective tough-on-crime policies By Editor On Mar 11, 2022 Last updated Mar 11, 2022 151 Share As a mom living on Capitol Hill, I have been alarmed by recent reports of carjackings taking place nearby — sometimes committed by children. Those reports also trigger memories of being robbed at gunpoint in D.C. more than 15 years ago. These random acts of violence are terrifying, and the heightened fear in the media and neighborhood listservs is to be expected. But it is incredibly important that we resist letting our fear rationalize support for tough-on-crime responses, especially when it comes to our children. There are better, safer and more lasting solutions. 151 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
