COVID School Lockdowns = More Crime
During the pandemic, police officers around the country say a rise in teenagers forcibly stealing occupied cars going for joy rides is the result of Covid lockdown's social isolation, and disengagement. With Today's ALG Minute, I'm Catherine Mortensen. Police departments in cities around the country are also reporting a rise in carjackings, often committed by teens too young for their licenses. Law-enforcement officials blame the rise in part on virtual learning. They say for many children, the pandemic has led to anxiety and depression. D.C.'s Acting Police Chief Robert Contee said “When you have children who are not in school and that structure is not in place, I think it aligns perfectly with the increases in carjackings that we’ve seen in our city.” Police figures show that carjackings also jumped sharply last year in several other cities—by 301% in Minneapolis, 148% in New York City, 125% in Chicago, 80% in Philadelphia and 42% in Las Vegas. This is one more reason to get children back in school. For more check us out at the DailyTorch.com.
