Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser for Washington, D.C., announced a juvenile curfew and other measures to combat rising crime rates in the area.

Bowser and D.C. leaders unveiled three new initiatives Thursday, following months of rising total violent crime rates and the district recording 100 homicides in the first six months of 2023, the earliest record in two decades.
 
"Public safety is our #1 priority, and it requires a whole-of-government approach," Bowser said in a series of posts on Thursday. "We will continue to double down on programs that we know work, and we remain focused on coming up with new and innovative ways to help our communities feel safer."

As of Tuesday, there is a 27% increase in homicides compared to this time last year. Total violent crime is up 38%, and total crime is up 31%.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Curfews is one third of what has to be done: curfews, stop and frisk, and profiling.
Anybody attempting to do all three will be labeled a racist.
Which is why stop and frisk and profiling are out.
People would rather be not accused of being racists than stopping the incredible pile of dead black bodies that pile up on our nation's streets and sidewalks every week.
