I suggest you look deeper into why LA, NYC, and Boston have lower homicides rates than DC. Our research has indicated that these cities have demonstrated robust (evidence-based, well funded, consistent/sustained, community-involved) violence intervention and prevention strategies, and that this has had an impact on the homicide rates in these cities. Keep in mind, there is no panacea and the strategies may look different in different cities (e.g. NeighborhoodStat and the crisis management system in NYC, focused deference in Boston, GRYD and Urban Peace Institute in LA), but those key elements remain.

Fuck off dipshit, your little hoodlum friends need to go to jail, not get a pep talk from some quack sociologist without a PsyD
DC has the same
Fun fact: black people comprise less than half of DC and commit over 90% of homicides. Way to go guys!
