John Whitley recently stopped being our research director to take over as  chief financial officer of the US Army in the Trump Administration. It was quite a loss for us, as John had been with us since the CPRC was founded. Fortunately, Carl Moody has joined us as our new research director.

The Washington Post doesn't really want to give President Trump credit for the drop in crime in DC. Please look at the graph above and notice that there was a discrete change in August and September 2025 (and the change only started about half way through August on...
