Has the “Defund the Police” Movement Contributed to a Violent Crime Surge?
This past year, “defund the police” has been a frequent call from activists seeking systemic reform of the American criminal justice system.
It became a popular rallying cry after the May 25 death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis. And Minneapolis is among cities that partially defunded police departments and proactive crime prevention programs in response to the incident.
However, the months since brought a massive surge in violent crime, a phenomenon called the “Minneapolis Effect” by two legal experts who spoke at a virtual event held March 16 by The Heritage Foundation.
