A 5-year-old boy and his mother were found fatally stabbed in their Bronx apartment on Sunday, and the boy’s father was found stabbed to death in the hallway.

All three members of the family — Jonathan Rivera, 38; his partner, Hanoi Peralta, 33; and their son, Kayden — were pronounced dead early Sunday morning in the building on 136th Street near Cypress Avenue in Mott Haven, the police said. Their deaths have been ruled homicides.

Authorities have not released the name of the suspect in the case, but officers are questioning a close relative, according to a police official familiar with the investigation.

On Monday, Mr. Rivera’s father, Miguel Angel Rivera, 60, stood outside his son’s building. He rested his head on a news van and began to sob. “I want to see you, I want to see you,” he said, crying [...]

Paper finds that the vast differences in homicide rates between blacks and whites may be better explained by family structure (e.g., single-parent families) than economic conditions.https://t.co/lG4KLMUrAX

It further argues that these family structure differences are not well explained income differences.

So it's possible that the existence of a higher percentage of single-parent households in the black community is more a function of culture than lower-income status.

Baltimore man pleaded guilty to robbing three banks while serving sentence for bank robbery

BY CBS BALTIMORE STAFF

NOVEMBER 29, 2023 / 11:44 PM EST / CBS BALTIMORE

BALTIMORE -- A Baltimore man pleaded guilty on Wednesday to robbing three banks while serving a sentence for robbing a bank, according to the Maryland U.S. Attorney's Office.

Kevin Lawson, 55, was serving out the remainder of a federal sentence for a 2004 conviction of robbing a bank in a residential re-entry program when he committed the robberies, state authorities said.

Lawson allegedly committed three armed bank robberies in Baltimore between June 6, 2022, and July 18, 2022. He used a black air gun in each robbery, according to his guilty plea.

He showed up at each robbery site wearing a surgical mask and gloves. He typically approached a bank employee seated at a desk on the banking floor and showed them what appeared to be a semiautomatic gun before ordering that person go to the teller line, state authorities said.

Lawson would then hold the bank employee against the glass and demand money from the teller. After receiving the money, Lawson on at least two occasions put the money in a brown paper bag and then put the brown bag inside a white plastic bag before running away, according to state authorities.

In his plea agreement, Lawson said he robbed a bank in the 100 block of East Baltimore Street on June 6, 2022, and a bank in the 5400 block of Harford Road on June 27, 2022, state authorities said.

The third bank was in the 3200 block of West North Avenue. On that occasion, Lawson allegedly rushed a security guard and struck her with his weapon, hitting her head and other parts of her body, according to state authorities.

He attempted to disarm the security guard, too, but tellers, fearing for her safety, used cash to lure him away from her. That's when the security guard shot at Lawson before her weapon jammed, state authorities said.

That day, Lawson fled in a gray Kia. He eventually crashed that vehicle into the exterior wall of a vacant rowhome, according to state authorities [....]

The increase in shoplifting

The increase in shoplifting appears to be limited to a few cities, rather than being truly national. In most of the country, retail theft has been lower this year than it was a few years ago, according to police data. By @germanrlopez https://t.co/lQd6m121mZ pic.twitter.com/0R5HWSXWmh

[....] Why has the issue nonetheless received so much attention? Today’s newsletter tries to answer that question while taking a deeper look at recent shoplifting trends.

The data

The various sources of crime data — from government agencies and private groups — tell a consistent story. Retail theft has not spiked nationwide in the past several years. If anything, it appears less common in most of the country than it was before the pandemic.

The most up-to-date source is the shoplifting report published this month by the Council on Criminal Justice, which uses police data through the first half of 2023. The other sources go through only 2022.

The council tracks 24 major U.S. cities. Overall, shoplifting incidents were 16 percent higher in the first half of 2023 than the first half of 2019. When New York City is excluded, however, reported shoplifting incidents fell over the same time period. Out of the 24 cities, 17 reported decreases in shoplifting.

The shoplifting problem “is being talked about as if it’s much more widespread than it probably is,” said Sonia Lapinsky, a retail expert at the consulting firm AlixPartners.

Other data also indicates that shoplifting is not up in most cities since 2019. Retailers’ preferred measure, called shrink, tracks lost inventory, including from theft. Average annual shrink made up 1.57 percent of retail sales in 2022, up slightly from 2021 (1.44 percent) but down compared with 2019 (1.62 percent). The F.B.I. and the Bureau of Justice Statistics also found that theft and property crime ticked up in 2022 but remained below pre-Covid levels.

The notion that the U.S. is enduring a period of higher crime in some areas is not wrong. Car thefts are up by more than 100 percent since 2019. Murders are on track to be 10 percent higher this year than they were in 2019.

Many major downtown areas have also become emptier and more chaotic since the pandemic, which may explain why drugstores and other retailers are more often locking up items even if shoplifting isn’t much more common than in the past.

The noise

There seem to be several reasons that shoplifting has received so much attention lately [....]
