Crime is on the rise in the U.S. According to data collected by the CDC, between 2019 and 2020 the murder rate in the country went up by 30%, the largest increase in more than a century.

The other, now the top prosecutor in town, is pushing for a more humane approach, changing the focus from prison terms to social programs. Mike Kirsch went to Los Angeles and spoke to both.
