National Guard deployment has had ‘no measurable effect on violent crime’ in DC despite Trump’s claims

"The thousands of National Guard troops the Trump administration sent to Washington, D.C., last summer had “no measurable effect” on reducing violent crime, according to a new study.

The deployment, which largely stationed troops in low-crime tourist areas, appeared to cause a 24 percent reduction in opportunistic property crime in its first six months, but the same couldn’t be said of violent crime, per a report published on Thursday by the Niskanen Center.

“What the Guard brought was a massive, sudden shock from the visible presence of uniformed military personnel on the streets of Washington almost overnight,” the report’s authors wrote. “For crimes driven by opportunistic calculation, that visibility appears to have mattered. For violent crime, which is less deterrable by patrol presence alone, it did not.”"
