Rising violent crime poses new challenge for White House
| President Biden will detail his administration’s crime prevention strategy on Wednesday in a high profile address that comes as a series of major cities see spikes in crime.
Violent crime rates are still well below the rates of previous decades, but the jump has prompted concern in locales in different parts of the country, and become a part of the debate over electing a new mayor in New York City. It is also a potential problem for the White House and congressional Democrats ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. |
