D. C. Criminal Reforms to Immediately Make Everyone Safe Act of 2025

HR 4922, the DC Criminal Reforms to Immediately Make Everyone Safe Act of 2025 (DC CRIMES Act), modifies youth offender definitions and creates public transparency measures. It limits "youth offender" status to individuals 18 or younger (previously 24), removing provisions for 18-24 year olds in sentencing and facility planning. The bill requires the DC Attorney General to establish a public website publishing monthly juvenile crime statistics, including arrest data by age, race, sex, crime type, recidivism rates, and sentencing outcomes - without personally identifiable information. It also prohibits the DC Council from changing existing criminal sentencing laws. These provisions directly affect youth offenders aged 15-18 and DC government operations related to juvenile justice data.
