While flaws and inconsistencies in crime data persist, multiple sources suggest that violent crime in the U.S. is genuinely declining, though skepticism remains warranted. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/11/12/world/the-accuracy-of-crime-statistics/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #us #crime #washington #donaldtrump #police #fbi #cdc
The release of documents appears to be intended to provide #Republicans with a defense against charges that they have not released all of the government’s files on #Epstein & his longtime partner in #crime #GhislaineMaxwell — & possibly to stave off demands, including from some #House Republicans, to force the release of all of the #EpsteinFiles.

Probation officers pause in-person visits and home searches for offenders facing an arrest warrant. That reduced supervision can last for months — in one case it was over a year. Six mothers died during this gap, WPLN and ProPublica found.

Here's @davidallengreen thought experiment on the structure of the UK's prison system; a prison system that as he points out is really set up on, and works to a dysfunctional response to crime & criminals.
However, the view of punishment (rather than rehabilitation) that it encompasses has too many proponents for an alternative to establish itself as the political ground for reform.

“No more #ViolenceAgainstWomen,” #ClaudiaSheinbaum said in March. “No more femicide, no more beatings, no more abuse, no more violent words against Mexican women.”
In response to her #assault, Sheinbaum unveiled a new initiative against #SexualAbuse. The plan includes a push to make sexual abuse a punishable #crime in every state in #Mexico, education for prosecutors & judges on crimes against women, a public campaign to encourage women to report sexual abuse, & a streamlined process to do so.

#ClaudiaSheinbaum also forced all security & justice institutions to recognize that #gender can be a factor in a #crime. And she required every state to have a specialized prosecutor’s office for so-called #femicides, which #Mexico defines as #murders in which the authorities can prove a #woman was killed because of her gender.
For many #women in #Mexico, the #crime against the president, during which a man tried to kiss her & put his hands on her chest, was a sad fact of life. Mexico has a long history of machismo, a culture that teaches men they are entitled to control women, according to Mexican activists & female politicians, as well as a system of norms that reinforce #inequality & #violence.

On the streets of #Mexico City this week, many #women could quickly recall frightening personal incidents—men following them on the street or groping them on a crowded train. Many said they did not believe they could count on the #police to pursue such cases, whether #SexualHarassment was a punishable #crime or not.

Just how far is now the subject of a national conversation—set off by the #SexualAssault Tues—about the #harassment, #abuse & #violence #women still face in #Mexico. Online, on TV & in their homes, women expressed indignation that not even the president was safe & resignation that nothing would ever change.
#ClaudiaSheinbaum herself said on Wednesday what many were wondering, asking, “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”
