Washington D.C.'s attorney general Brian Schwalb stated that the city can not arrest its way out of crime and that prevention is necessary. Schwalb cites statistics of carjackings and violent crimes in the district and emphasizes the need for a prevention strategy. He has been criticized for not prosecuting juvenile crimes and for preferring rehabilitation over incarceration. This statement comes after a violent carjacking that left one dead and an ex-Trump official critically injured.
