National Guard has done little to reduce violent crime in D.C., a new study finds

A recent study reveals that the National Guard's deployment in Washington, D.C. hasn't led to a reduction in violent crime, despite being on the ground since last August. This deployment was part of a federal initiative to tackle crime, with plans to increase their numbers. This finding raises questions about the effectiveness of such large-scale military interventions in urban crime prevention, suggesting a need for alternative or additional strategies to address the city's ongoing crime issues.
