Justice Dept. Commission: If you Want to Reduce Crime, You Need to Start by Actually Prosecuting It


Last week, the Department of Justice hosted a series of three public hearings of The Presidential Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) learned that the nation’s top cops are clearly united on what it takes to reduce crime.
First, it takes increased, targeted prosecutions. Second, a proven strategy is establishing partnerships across levels of law enforcement entities, neighborhoods and the private sector. Not a single member of the commission spoke about gun control proposals.
