Unchecked juvenile crime doesn’t just threaten public safety, it kills local economies.
Look at Towson Town Center. Retail was already on life support after COVID. Now add roaming groups of juveniles, repeat offenders, and weak consequences. Customers stay away. Sales drop. Stores close. The spiral begins.
This isn’t complicated.
More visible police presence. Stronger mall security. Zero tolerance for repeat offenders.
And when criminals are caught, prosecute them. Period.
But instead, Annapolis keeps weakening accountability. And the kids committing these crimes know it.
That’s how you lose a mall, one bad policy at a time.
“Always stay close to the Catholic Church, because she alone can give you true peace, since she alone possesses Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the true Prince of Peace. And stay close to Mary.”
- St. Padre Pio
