President Trump says he will pass death penalty for large scale drug dealers, human traffickers, and anyone who kills a police officer. 🇺🇸
Violent crime in America is concentrated in a small number of neighborhoods, and the people rearrested after pretrial release almost always go back to those same blocks which means the victims of those second offenses are overwhelmingly the neighbors.
When officers arrest the same individual four times in a year and watch him released each time, the rational response is to stop bothering and arrest rates fall not because policy changed but because the people enforcing it concluded their work gets undone.
