Jason Chaffetz: Democrats' crime surge is real, scary and bringing chaos, not safety, to cities across US
Fox News
So-called justice reforms don't work for good reason: when the rewards of committing a crime are not outweighed by the consequences, there is little incentive to behave lawfully.
Whatever the intent, all of these policies are showing the same outcome: more crime. The reprehensible tactic of using rising crime rates to justify disarming crime victims makes us less safe, not more so. Murder rates are up 25% across the board according to FBI data. That's some 4,000 more murders in 2020 than 2019. That national number masks the more substantial spikes in cities where progressive "criminal justice reforms" are practiced.More Related News
