As serious and violent crime is slowly retreating from their 2022 highs, juvenile crime has sharply increased.\u00a0 Liberty Unyielding has this article<\/a> examining what happened in New York after the legislature passed the”Raise the Age” law in 2017.\u00a0 That law reduced the punishment for 16 and 17-year-old criminal offenders.\u00a0 The Albany County District Attorney David Soares, who immigrated to the U.S. from Africa, witnessed the impact of that law.<\/p>\n

“Since that law passed, youth gun crime statewide has doubled<\/a>\u2014and youth gun victimization has nearly tripled. About 75 percent of violent felony cases now get handled in family court, which returns teens to the streets, where they often commit new crimes or become victims themselves of tit-for-tat gang warfare. \u201cWe witnessed the murder of a young man at the hands of another young man that had gone through the family court Raise the Age process . . . a minimum of three times,\u201d Soares told local legislators<\/a> in July. This was a system that was never designed to handle or deal with violent\u2014super, super violent\u2014youth.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Earlier this year Soares was disinvited from testifying at a state Senate hearing because progressive politicians could not countenance a black elected official acknowledging what everybody already knows but are afraid to say\u2014that crime and violence is concentrated in black communities and most of the victims are other blacks, and laws like “Raise the Age” are enabling this.<\/p>\n

For the hardcore progressives who have pushed criminal justice reforms sharply reducing consequences for crime in the name of racial justice, the data shows that these reforms are making things worse for the very population they claim to be helping.\u00a0 But their narrative is more important than the truth.\u00a0 No place in the country has demonstrated that replacing criminal justice with social services works.\u00a0 An influential progressive agency head, \u201cJones,\u201d is adamant: if no jurisdiction in this country has yet achieved public order this way, we just need to try harder and wait longer<\/em>\u2026.\u00a0 Until everyone is dead one supposes.<\/p>\n

While overwhelming evidence suggests that law enforcement reduces crime . . . .this is the kind of data-based evaluation that progressives believe obscures deeper truths about the relationship between social or economic disadvantage and crime. Jonathan, a progressive New York City court program head, dismisses quantitative analyses . . . . \u201cI get annoyed with evidence blah blah blah.\u201d<\/p>\n

“To justify soft-on-crime policies, \u201ccriminal justice reform\u201d groups like FAMM (Families Against Mandatory Minimums) routinely make false statistical claims that are obviously wrong, about the effects of incarceration. \u201cPeople age approximately three times faster in prison,\u201d says Maria Goellner, director of state policy at FAMM (formerly Families Against Mandatory Minimums).\u201d In reality, incarceration has surprisingly little effect on people\u2019s life spans. Studies sometimes find that criminals actually live longer in prison than they do in the outside world.<\/p>\n

A recent peer-reviewed study<\/a> in the American Economic Journal finds criminals have lower mortality rates in prison than they do outside of prison. That study, titled \u201cThe Health Effects of Prison,\u201d found that when prisoners have to serve more time before being released.\u00a0 Criminals do not have particularly long life spans. But going to prison actually curbs some of criminals\u2019 self-destructive behaviors, enabling many of them to live longer.<\/p>\n

Why do groups like FAMM make false claims about inmates dying early due to incarceration? They do it in order to lobby for laws releasing inmates early, such as legislation lowering the age of geriatric release to age 50 (as Virginia\u2019s Democratic Governor Ralph Northam proposed in 2020<\/a> for many inmates). If inmates really did age three times faster in prison than in the outside world, they would be close to death by the time they hit age 50…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is apparent that Soros-funded groups like FAMM don’t actually care what happens to minorities after their policies are adopted.\u00a0 They don’t care about racial justice, or any justice for anyone.\u00a0 It seems that what’s most important is their belief that America is racist, and that it must be destroyed and rebuilt into a socialist utopia.\u00a0 Brainwashing segments of the population into believing that they are oppressed and that the government, the culture and institutions are the oppressors is the objective.<\/p>\n

When people are more afraid of the police than they are of the violent criminals gunning down folks in their neighborhoods, it is a victory for progressives.<\/p>\n
