Where is the rise in (violent) crime mostly taking place? Big cities with large black populations.
Incidents like thieves ransacking stores stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise or carjackings were rare news stories in the old days. The old days being about ten-twenty years ago.
Criminals knew that punishment of either long prison terms or in extreme cases death awaited them if they committed serious acts.
Obviously, violent criminals no longer fear being apprehended and punished.
Who is responsible for the dramatic spike in carjackings? Young, black males. With the increase of black officials and or leftist mayors in mayoral and DA offices who treat violent black males leniently, the thugs have become emboldened. If they're caught, many times they're let go with either minimal or no bail.
Until swift and stern punishment for those types of crimes returns, those types of crimes will keep on rising.
