Magic, Hey, hey! (It’s me, from Meghan Daum’s and Sarah Haider’s internet threads). How are you?

This is a real dive in the crime stats. I’m enjoying what you’ve written and the thorough run through you give in this data. I want to read it again.

I think I could also see a national program that’s really hefty and needs a lot of backing--a huge federal anti-crime campaign that makes police departments that are struggling much stronger and incredibly stable as they’ve grown weaker the last few years.

I could also see a national program for those struggling with very difficult mental illnesses. Those who are also violent and struggling, especially on the street. Setting up more rehabs and hospital places for people to be taken in who need help and who may hurt themselves, others, or make residents fearful in their neighborhoods.
