Who knew? Blue City Discovers Prosecuting Criminals Actually Works

Image
  In 2022, Mosby’s last year in office, Baltimore saw 334 homicides across the city. The next year, under Bates’s watch, that number dropped to 262. In 2024, it dropped further to 202 homicides. And during the first half of 2025, Baltimore saw just 68 homicides, a 62 percent drop from the same timeframe in 2022. Auto thefts are also down 34 percent, robberies are down 22 percent, and arson is down 10 percent in Baltimore so far in 2025 compared to the same timeframe last year. “The numbers don’t lie,” Maryland Public Policy Institute fellow Sean Kennedy told the Washington Free Beacon. “Ivan Bates’s model of targeting the most violent or violence-prone offenders (gun carrying criminals) is the primary driver of Baltimore’s miraculous success.” “Homicides only started dropping when Bates came in and signaled that carrying guns meant prison,” Kennedy said.

Oregon ballot measure proposes overhaul of controversial bail reforms

Image
  A new ballot measure proposal, which, if approved by voters, would dramatically change the criminal justice system in the state of Oregon. The goal of the measure is to put an end to what many describe as Oregon’s “catch and release” system, where suspected criminals are immediately released before trial and then never show up. The sponsors are confident that Oregon voters will support it if given the chance. It is just the latest example of a criminal justice system that many say has grown increasingly dysfunctional. An accused hit-and-run driver on Highway 26, was later arrested for attempted murder, only to be released pretrial by a judge, over the strong objections of the prosecution and the victim’s family. They said he’d never honor his promise to appear. And they were right. He is now at large, and Oregon lawmaker Kevin Mannix says cases like these have to stop. To see more CLICK HERE .

Addressing Food Desserts- What is the Answer?

Image
What are "food desserts" and why are they getting larger in our urban centers?  A food dessert is a area in an urban city where food retailers are not readily accessible.  Why are food desserts growing? In the early 1990s a survey of city shoppers found that more than half left the city at least once a month to shop at stores not available in the five boroughs. Large swaths of the city, including Harlem, home to 100,000 residents, lacked a local supermarket. Crime was bad enough to sink promising ventures, including U.S. Athletics, a 13-store footwear chain that closed its outlets in the city after suffering some 1,000 shoplifting incidents. In a 1989 survey conducted by Interface, one-fifth of businesses reported having lost sales because of crime. The key to the comeback was the restoration of order, beginning with the declines in crime that characterized the mayoral administration of Rudolph Giuliani and continued into the administration of Michael Bloomberg. Those gains u...
