About this listen

After President Trump’s federalization of DC law enforcement, attention is turning to the root causes of violent crime and the policies needed to restore safety in America’s cities. Manhattan Institute’s Charles Fain Lehman joins Rep. Crenshaw to break down the data, the myths, and the realities behind the crime waves in DC and other urban areas – from bail reform and policing shortages to homelessness, public disorder, and the social contagion of mass shootings. A hard look at what’s working, what isn’t, and what it will take to make our communities safe again.

Charles Fain Lehman is a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and senior editor of City Journal. He focuses primarily on the public policy of antisocial behavior, including issues of crime, drugs, and public disorder. Find him on X at @CharlesFLehman and read his research at Manhattan Institute.
