Opinion | Soft touches don't work against stone-cold killers - The Washington Post

After reading Jody Kent Lavy’s March 13 Local Opinions essay, “Ineffective crime policies won’t help D.C.,” a paean to soft-touch treatment of juvenile crime, I have one question: Where is the “restorative justice” for Abdul Rauf Khan, Mohammad Anwar and other individuals recently killed in carjackings perpetrated or allegedly perpetrated by teens in the D.C. area?

Ms. Lavy described young offenders as though they were children behaving badly. Sadly, these are stone-cold killers. Their victims and their victims’ families — along with all law-abiding D.C. residents and visitors — deserve to be protected from them first and foremost. Rehabilitation is a second and more complicated act and one that, judging from the astronomical rate of juvenile recidivism, is not being effectively pursued.
