Philadelphia’s Record-Breaking Murder Wave: A Failure of Political Will
The recent murder of a 21-year-old Temple University student during an attempted carjacking was awful, but a rarity. Instead, the usual victim is a young black man — and it’s not even close.

Property crime is a problem in the nicer neighborhoods, but young black men in the city experience the worst violent crime. The city is failing them.
