It doesn't take a rocket scientist to come to the logical conclusion that catch and release of criminals will lead to more crime.
- bjourne 5y agoThen perhaps you can cite some research that provides evidence for the claim that changed catch and release policies caused the uptick in murders?
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoThe observant will note that you also cite no evidence, not even for your claim that criminologists don't know what causes the spike. felistoria at least makes a plausible cause-and-effect argument, which is more than you have done.
- bjourne 5y agoI don't claim to know what caused the spike. You'll find it implied in the NYT article that the cause for the spike is unknown. You'll find it more explicitly stated in this NYT article: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/06/upshot/murders-rising-crime-coronavirus.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/06/upshot/murders-rising-cri...
