Reply to comment by Entire_Relationship in Streets on Columbia robbed, manager hurt this afternoon by NPRjunkieDC

Current criminal codes mean nothing if the AG refuses to prosecute. We also had these criminal codes from 2010-2018 which was the safest period in decades for dc. Now AG won’t prosecute and shootings plus carjackings are up exponentially.

seems like the new code is a boogeyman when people should be complaining about lack of prosecution and police work. the new code could raise mandatory minimums and it wouldn't change anything in the environment you're describing.
