Tax peril looming, Sydney Sweeney elevates advertising, plus additional insights from our Opinion section
In the latest episode of 'Hannity' on our website, host Sean Hannity delves into a comparative analysis of the crime rate in Washington, D.C., placing it alongside other American and global cities.
Hannity's discussion revolves around the alarming statistics that highlight Washington, D.C.'s high violent crime rates, particularly in areas such as murder, car theft, and carjacking. Remarkably, these rates surpass those of notorious violent cities worldwide. Data similar to former President Trump’s claims indicate that D.C.’s homicide rate in 2023 was higher than in cities like Bogota, Mexico City, and Baghdad, labeling it among the most violent places globally.
The host emphasizes that Washington, D.C.'s crime levels, especially deadly violence, have seen a substantial increase. Carjacking rates have tripled, and murders have reached their highest rate in decades, outpacing many internationally recognized high-crime cities. This trend aligns with reports that while some property crimes have slightly declined recently, violent crimes including assaults with weapons and homicides remain critically high or have increased in recent years.
A Council on Criminal Justice study, as cited in related reporting, further supports Hannity’s claims. The study showed D.C. had the highest "lethality level" among 17 major U.S. cities examined from 2018 to 2024, meaning the proportion of homicides compared to aggravated assaults and robberies soared dramatically.
Hannity frames D.C. as exceptionally violent both by national and global standards, underscoring the urgency in addressing crime as he conveyed through his Fox News platform.
As we revisit topics from years past to find inspiration and talking points, it's clear that the discussion on crime in Washington, D.C. remains a pressing concern.
