Washington, D.C., Attorney General Brian Schwalb is again under scrutiny for his response to crime after arguing that the district cannot “prosecute or arrest our way” out of the area’s rising crime levels.

Schwalb responded to district residents who showed up at a panel discussion on carjacking and juvenile crime on Tuesday led by Ward 6 Councilman Charles Allen. U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves was also in attendance.
