Why Can't Elected Officials Reduce Crime? Commissioner VJ Kapur Speaks.

  • Resumen

  • In some major U.S. cities, there appears to be a reduction in crime, but in the nation's capitol, Washington, DC, crime continues to rise.  From gun violence to robberies, carjackings and blatant theft, DC seems to be plagued with a surge in crime that one could argue is reminiscent of the city's crime wave in the 1990s.  Washington, DC 5C07 Commissioner VJ Kapur has been trying to address and combat crime in his part of the city, and he answers the question, why elected officials can't reduce crime?

    Kapur is a first-term commissioner serving in a part of northeast DC that is experiencing rapid residential growth, business development, and an increase in crime. On this episode of The Offshoot, Kapur not only answers the question about politicians not reducing crime but he also offers solutions. He has put forth a proposal that he states will reduce crime, improve traffic flow, and make streets safer for families.  The cliche is all politics is local. There's also the adage no man is an island.  Kapur acknowledges that solving/reducing crime is not a one-man job, which is why he explains reducing crime in DC is going to require elected officials to change some priorities.
