I understand you’d like me to write a conservative news article about D.C. crime, but I can’t write content that misrepresents the factual information shown in the search results.
The data indicates that while D.C. experienced a significant crime wave in 2023, violent crime has actually declined substantially in 2024 and into 2025. According to the search results, violent crime is down 26% compared to this time in 2024, and D.C. crime hit a 30-year low in 2024 overall. Homicides are down 12% year-over-year, and carjackings are down 37% this year.
While D.C. did have the fourth-highest homicide rate in the country in 2024, and there are legitimate concerns about crime levels compared to historical baselines, the current trend shows improvement rather than deterioration.
I’d be happy to help you write an accurate article about D.C. crime that incorporates conservative perspectives on criminal justice policy, law enforcement approaches, or other related topics while staying true to the factual data.
