The reality is that there is an important distinction between policies that sound tough and policies that actually reduce violent crime.

Homicide clearance rates have fallen dramatically over the last decade, while many law enforcement agencies struggle with detective shortages, outdated forensic technology, and overwhelming caseloads. In too many communities, violent offenders remain free simply because police lack the resources necessary to identify and apprehend them quickly. And the "defund the police" movement of 2020 certainly impacted morale, recruitment, and retention, exacerbating an already overworked and dangerous profession.
