Elizabeth Macdonald interviews retired NYPD officer Bill Stanton, who discusses the dramatic reduction in D.C. crime rates, including a near-homicide-free start to the year. Stanton attributes this success to the 'omnipresence' of police and the National Guard, advocating for 'law and order' over 'equitable justice' and emphasizing the importance of consequences for criminals to deter recidivism.
