When we center survivors, we transform justice.
True reform means humanizing everyone involved, both survivors and those who’ve caused harm. Because healing, repair, and accountability are only possible when we move beyond “us vs. them.”

Great reporting on this critical issue that has not received the attention it deserves from criminologists over the past few decades. Glad to see that changing in research and reporting.

“Philly detectives are solving homicides at the highest rate in 40 years as violence plummets and tech improves

Still, nearly 800 killings between 2021 and 2023 have yet to result in an arrest, according to an Inquirer analysis.”

The Pa. Supreme Court said many police officers overuse the term ‘high-crime area’ to justify stopping potential suspects The high court said the label has become “overused” and turned into “box-checking” for some officers who conduct pedestrian stops.

Hey @profferguson.bsky.social Icymi: www.inquirer.com/crime/pennsy...

I played “cup of life” by Ricky Martin for the kid on way to soccer game on Saturday and now I get to listen to it everyday

I posted again with 1965. For science

There have been very few arrests for drug possession—or any drug offense—in Philly this year to date (YTD), relative to this same date in years past (see pic)

We also have fewer homicides YTD than in any year since 1965. ❤️

Oh crap I did see that on your sub I think. I knew it was the 60s just wasn’t patient enough to wait to dig before sharing. Is there an edit button?

We have fewer homicides YTD than in any year since at least 2007. ❤️

These septa cuts are not a short term issue as impact of this political attack on young Philadelphians will endure. They don’t want kids from Philly to have the tools to succeed so that they can put them in their prisons instead. That’s what they want, and this must be responded to accordingly.

Research on front page. Housing. Rental assistance. RCT. Big impact.

Philly first in nation. Hopefully we keep this energy and scale this up!

Lots of incredible RCTs out of Philly showing non-law enforcement approaches—this, greening, lights—work

Looks like we have a Howie in marketing too #GoBirds

Yelp is tracking my location and asks me to review places I’ve been based on location. Yelp. Help

Someone in Reddit thread pointed out he’s got a gun on his waist too. Hopefully no prior felonies or that pic could be evidence of something!

I sometimes like looking at Reddit threads that are a few days old because by then there has been some sort of resolution.

Here’s one I just saw. Someone recognized him from gym and gave management ultimatum re whose membership they valued more. Nazi cancelled.

we can probably take the Covid special report down, but I do like the jail population graphic

data.philadao.com/COVID19_Repo...

Line graph showing local jail population each year. After initial drop below 5,000 in first year of Krasner administration, population stayed below 5k.

We went below 4,000 in April 2020 w/ COVID-era efforts, but above 4,000 in 2021, 22, 23, 24.

Population has been under 4,000 for much of 2025

Data.philadao.com

In January 2018 there were roughly 6,500 people in the local jails in Philadelphia (the Philadelphia department of prisons)

Today, 8/18/25, there are roughly 3,250, or half as many.

Inbound train cancelled yesterday morning, outbound train this afternoon. Extra 90+ minutes of waiting
