After crime plummeted in 2020, Baltimore will stop drug, sex prosecutions
Stateā€™s Attorney Mosby stopped non-violent prosecutions for the coronavirus, but then violent crime dropped 20 percent.

GUEST ESSAY

Half the Police Force Quit. Crime Dropped
There is reason to think it may. When New Yorkā€™s officers engaged in an announced slowdown in policing in late 2014 and early 2015,Ā civilian complaints of major crime in the city dropped. And despite significant staffing shortages at law enforcement agencies around the country, if trends continue, 2023 will haveĀ the largest percentage drop in homicidesĀ in U.S. history. Itā€™s true that such a drop would come after a two-year surge, but the fact that it would also occur after a significant reduction in law enforcement personnel suggests the surge may have been due more to the pandemic and its effects than depolicing.
