REDUCING VIOLENT CRIME
Under John Creuzot's leadership, the DA's office has successfully increased prosecution of violent crimes and homicides, convicting in thousands of cases. Creuzot's policies have led to reduced violent crime and allowed law enforcement to better focus on serious crime and to improve incident response times. As the Dallas Morning News reported, the 2024 violent crime rate went down more than 8% compared to 2023. Murders went down more than 26% in 2024 compared to 2023.
RESEARCH-BASED CRIMINAL JUSTICE POLICES
District Attorney John Creuzot is more interested in results than assumptions. His research-based approach to criminal justice is about trying policy, having that policy evaluated by objective parties, and keeping what works to reduce crime and recidivism and improve outcomes.
"We are prosecuting violent crime and partnering with law enforcement to bring the crime rate down."
