The D.C. Council on Tuesday passed an emergency crime bill<\/a> aimed at giving judges more leeway as the city grapples with a sharp rise in violent crimes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ahead of the vote, Council of the District of Columbia Chair Phil Mendelson<\/a> lamented, “You can get away with murder in this city.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The statement was a notable pivot from comments he made in March, suggesting that the “perception” of high crime was overshadowing the reality on the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I know this belies the common belief \u2014 and when it comes to crime, how people feel is important \u2014 but there is not a crime crisis<\/a> in Washington, D.C.,” Mendelson said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

VIOLENCE SOARS AMID DC POLICE CRISIS AS 5 KILLED IN JUST 1 DAY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

DC Police data<\/a> reveals a staggering increase in crime across the board between 2022 and 2023: homicides are up 17%, sex abuse is up 35%, and robberies are up by more 50%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The emergency public safety bill includes elements of a controversial crime bill that Congress voted to overturn earlier this year. Critics of the earlier version argued that it was too soft on certain crimes.<\/p>\n

The new bill increases penalties for various offenses like firing a gun in public, strangulation and carjacking. The bill also makes it easier for judges to keep violent crime suspects in custody while awaiting trial. <\/p>\n

Councilwoman Brooke Pinto, who sponsored the bill, told reporters Monday that D.C. is “in a state of emergency.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“And like in any emergency, we have to act like it, and we have to act urgently as a government to address the problem that we\u2019re seeing.”<\/p>\n

The bill passed 12-1 in a Tuesday emergency session.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
