Teen Charged in Deadly Carjacking Crash Amidst Pending Theft Cases

A 15-year-old girl, who had been previously arrested for robbery and theft charges, was released by a judge due to the lack of available housing in the city's Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services. However, she was later involved in a carjacking and crash that resulted in the death of another girl. The teenager has now been charged with armed carjacking, unlawful entry of a stolen vehicle, and conspiracy. The judge expressed concern over the agency's inability to provide housing for the girl and ordered a hearing to determine why the court should not hold the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services in contempt.

"Effectiveness of DC and Baltimore's Youth Curfews: A Comparative Analysis"

Starting September 1, the District of Columbia will ramp up enforcement of the youth curfew in seven neighborhoods where crime has increased. The curfew requires individuals 16 and younger to be off the streets from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. on weekdays and from midnight to 6 a.m. on weekends. Instead of taking curfew violators to a police station, they will be taken to the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS) to connect them with support services. There are exemptions to the curfew, including accompanying a parent or guardian, completing an errand, or exercising First Amendment rights.
