Passing the Buck on Atlanta’s Crime After another tragic week, Atlanta can no longer ignore the increasing crime that has unfortunately become the norm. According to a recent Atlanta Police Department report [1], year to date, murders have increased by a whopping 60 percent, rapes by 47 percent, aggravated assault by 39 percent and auto theft by 30 percent. Public safety in Atlanta has deteriorated so much that it has even grabbed the General Assembly’s attention. Indeed, in a March 25 letter [2] to Atlanta Mayor Kiesha Lance Bottoms, Speaker of the House David Ralston (R-7) highlighted the dramatic rise in crime. He wrote, “homicides surged 58 percent in 2020,” and there is an “alarming increase in [the] reports of auto theft, auto break-ins and other property crimes.” He closed by announcing his intention to hold hearings on the matter and invited the Mayor’s office to participate.
