A congressman spared prison as a teen tells D.C. to be tough on youth: Rep. Byron Donalds sponsored a bill to prohibit the District’s council from legislating crime sentencing. - "After getting a second chance on the drug charge thanks to a pretrial diversion program, he caught a bribery charge three years later. He got both records expunged and proved flexible sentencing can open doors to young people who make mistakes."
US stats show violent crime dramatically falling, so why is there a rising clash with perception?: "I don't believe the statistics," said Auriol Sonia Morris, a Trump supporter. - "But a Stanford University study published in July titled "The mythical tie between immigration and crime," found immigrants are 30% less likely to be incarcerated than are U.S.-born white individuals. When expanded to include Black Americans -- whose incarceration rate is estimated to be five times higher than whites -- the likelihood of an immigrant being incarcerated is 60% lower than of people born in the United States, according to the study."
