    ...much of it was a sincere attempt to respond to a real epidemic of violent crime.

    This is also a bit hard to come to terms to, but while there were genuinely bad actors pushing crime policy in 80s & 90s...

    7B. Ending is a state-by-state, county-by-county battle. Fighting crime is too. That’s where attention must be focused.

    7A. But again, the biggest risk: arguing that the 1994 Act caused suggests the feds can fix it today. They can’t.

    6. If ppl, say, attacked the 1994 Act for funding police instead of public defenders, then maybe protests wld fix TODAY’S issues.

    5. There are so many things that ACTUALLY MATTER that get no attention, while we rehash the culture wars of the 90s.

    4B. To the defenders: no change in federal law affects street crime that much, and the grants all underperformed.

    4A. To the critics: prison growth started SLOWING in 1993, and steadily SLOWED until it dropped in 2010.

    3B. Almost all new laws focused on fed crimes, which are few and far between. TIS grants didn’t change prison pops in any noticeable way.

    3A. Reduced crime? No. Just no. No. No. To start, crime drop stated in 1991, not 1994. No change in trend in 1994.

    The prominence of the 1994 crime bill in the primary is particular odd, though, given that Bernie & Hillary both supported it.
