Biden's delicate dance on combating crime surge and delivering criminal justice reform
Fox News
With crime and gun violence rising in many major cities across the country – and the issue increasingly in the media spotlight – President Biden on Wednesday gives a major address to spell out his administration's anti-crime steps.
But the president needs to walk a fine line between his party’s moderate wing and the progressive left, which is hungry for criminal justice reform. Coverage of the big city crime spike, which started last year during the coronavirus pandemic while Donald Trump was in the White House, has increased in recent months both locally and nationally. Media coverage will likely expand during what criminal justice experts predict to be a violent summer as the country climbs out of the coronavirus pandemic. And with the rate of COVID deaths declining as more Americans get vaccinated, recent public opinion polling suggest that crime is surpassing the pandemic as a top concern for Americans.More Related News
