U.S. DOJ’s “Comprehensive Strategy for Reducing Violent” iStock-1055138108
WASHINGTON D.C. –-(Ammoland.com)- The U.S. Department of Justice released its “Comprehensive Strategy for Reducing Violent Crime” to the Department’s employees on Wednesday.
Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco sent out the document obtained by AmmoLand News. It centers around the Department’s efforts at reducing violent crime. The memorandum separates offenses committed with firearms, which it calls an epidemic, from other forms of violent crimes. The document does highlight the civil unrest that took place last summer and the nationwide lockdown.
The document calls on the DOJ to make law enforcement more accountable to the community. It points to distrust in law enforcement as a roadblock to reducing violent crime because victims do not trust the police. It calls for more transparency and law enforcement to commit to “procedural justice and community policing.”

Within days, Hatemiâs email to the student was published on Campus Reform, a conservative website that bills itself as the â#1 Source for College Newsâ and whose stated mission is to expose âliberal bias and abuse on the nationâs college campuses.â The article accused Hatemi of having âlashed outâ at the student and âresponded harshlyâ to his request. Quotes from Hatemiâs email also appeared in right-wing publications like The Federalist, The Blaze, and the Post Millennial, and they spread on social media, where they were manipulated and stripped of context. A deluge of hate mail followed, directed at Hatemi as well as at his universityâs administration. Some of it threatened violence, prompting campus police to intervene, though Hatemi declined to comment on the details. The university did not respond to a request for comment.
