We certainly agree with that last part. But in case you happened to miss the editorial she was referring to, “What do we need to do to get violence under control in Baltimore? Everything,” which ran last week after FBI statistics confirmed that this is the deadliest city in America, you should know that we did not in fact conclude that her crime fighting strategy is working. We wrote that she has the right philosophy about Baltimore crime — that it is a product of deep-seated socio-economic disparities, and that a long-term solution requires addressing them. If we ever want to see the lasting gains that cities like New York and Boston have experienced, we need to sustain a focus on providing better opportunities for employment, education and social mobility, and we need to do it for years. Her view that all city departments — not just the police — must be involved in improving public safety is the right one.
