@SkinnerPm @GlennThrush @johnismay Wrote papers about this in early 2000s while at RAND. It’s not even a controversial practice. It’s just enforcing the laws on the books.

@RobMayeda Just a brief view, but at 10:41 heard the sonic boom here in Irvine.

[Roselyn Romero @roselyn_romero]

Violent crime in Oakland — including homicides, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults — fell 19% from 2023 to 2024, according to OPD’s end-of-year crime report.

@WineStopDTLA I think I can that one better with “Augie Gavi” by La Mesma! My boy Augie has his own private label that we (Tanaro River Imports) distribute in California.

Fact: Crime down, economy up. Don’t fall for “alternative facts.”

[Roselyn Romero @roselyn_romero]

According to OPD data, Oakland has reported 71 homicides year-to-date — a 32% decline compared with this time last year, when there were 105 homicides.

Experts I interviewed say Oakland appears likely to break its pandemic-era spike in homicides. https://t.co/3gz86H1E54

[Network Science @nws_journal]

How is gang violence contagious? @GravelJ, @MattValasik, @Joris_Mulder, @SNAnalyst @CarterButts, @tanaro1 et al explore direction & temporal order of conflicts between LA gangs with REMs. They find that retaliation is key, but also other mechanisms matter
