Anyone have any ideas as to why crime has been spiking in DC the past few months? Seems every day there are multiple shootings, armed carjackings, etc.

People not having jobs, low economic prosperity for lower class usually result in crime.

The pandemic has seen a big shift in reducing the lower class even further so the trend will probably continue until better recovery of the economy (through pandemic ending/getting better)

Crime is spiking everywhere. Atlanta is going through it as well. If things haven’t changed by the summer with this virus, expect more nonsense.

I’m struggling w this too. Have noticed the increase this year and really feeling it own our neighborhood in a way we didn’t a year ago. Was a shooting on my corner this morning of 5ppl at 8:30am.

We also had someone hold up a pizza delivery guy w a gun for cash tips on like Dec 29 the house right across the street. He didn’t even have any cash. Guy was desperate.

These are just the crimes I can literally see out my windows...

I’m in anacostia so rates are higher here than other parts. But it’s been decreasing for 20 years and just the last 2 it’s up again by drastic rates. We used to have like maybe 2 serious crime events happen near us annually, but between people who knew each other. Now it feels like every other week and sometimes includes holding up people for cash, and shooting random, unconnected pedestrians
