Philadelphia DA Krasner says city doesn not 'have a crisis of crime' despite record homicides
Fox News
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said Monday the city is not plagued by a crime crisis despite a record number of homicides in 2021.
"We don’t have a crisis of lawlessness, we don’t have a crisis of crime, we don’t have a crisis of violence," the district attorney told reporters at a Monday press conference. "It’s important that we don’t let this become mushy and bleed into the notion that there is some kind of big spike in crime. There isn't. There is not a big spike in crime. … There is not a big spike in violent crime. Neither one of these things is true."
Despite the fact that gun violence has gone "way up," other indicators, "which usually go up and down with gun violence," are staying "relatively flat," Krasner said.
