DC population has increased over that time period as well, no? A more useful statistics would be homicide per thousand resident, for example.

Wouldn’t surprise me if this is either a flat out lie or a greatly exaggerated tale. She seems to crave constantly being in the spotlight.

Where is most of the homicides happening? I live at the far end of NW and have seen an increase in domestic disputes but not necessarily murders/gangs etc. Although a man was killed by an angry ex with her car running over him repeatedly a few months ago. I wonder if all of this is also due to rising costs of living, economic strife and people having post COVID fallout in relationships???

Reply to comment by Audio_Grizz in NY Times: Biden Could Face Veto Test Over Contentious D.C. Crime Bill by Swampoodle1984
Realistically, it's either the current criminal code or the one Congress is about to overturn. The Council isn't going to make some Giuliani style tough on crime code after this, they'll just throw up their hands and leave the outdated code in place.
There's also no way to spin Congress overturning any DC law as anything but a crippling blow to statehood. You are basically putting together a bipartisan majority that says that DC is too stupid to govern itself and that we can't trust DC voters to select candidates that know how to govern a city.

Look, police have historically treated certain groups poorly, and weren't responding to calls for service in various neighborhoods WAY before police misconduct was part of the news stream. But whatever you need to tell yourself ig.
It's always wild to me how many uneducated people try to speak on criminal legal system topics.

Not necessarily talking about the 90's. I'm aware DC is known for being an absolute shit show during the 90's.

Murders went down a ton due to police presence. People riot because of police misconduct so police are withdrawn as requested. Murders promptly surge. Simple as.

I don't think it's gaslighting to say that it's been worse in the recent past (the article says number of homicides in 2022 was about the same 2001). The early 90's was a crazy time in DC.
It is easy to argue that what we are today isn't a good thing, though, even with that information. It is not trending in a good direction, and that value doesn't give me a warm fuzzy.

Thank you for the lovely words! I learned to appreciate birds when I volunteered at City Wild Life and their program Lights Out DC. Then I got my guides and everything, but I have been slow to pick them again. But now I have kids! Perhaps I could pass along that curiosity too :)
