Violent crime has plummeted in the Washington area and in major cities across the country, a trend criminologists describe as baffling and unexpected.
The District, New York and Los Angeles are on track for fewer killings this year than in any other year in at least four decades. Boston, San Francisco, Minneapolis and other cities are also seeing notable reductions in homicides.

There are Amish in the surrounding areas and there are Amish businessess there but there is also an influx of criminals from other areas.
I dont know what is wrong with the police chiefs of the United States. THe other day I watched on a police video cam, two police choke a man to death for having some drug that he put in his mouth. They kiled him.
However let gangs take over a city or town and instead of running them out of town, making it very uncomfortable, rousting them and teling them to get out: the police and leadership let the property values drop, and have law abiding people become prisoners in their homes.
