Issue Position: MAKING OUR PARKS AND THE MALL SAFE

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012

Norton's monitoring of the National Mall has helped bring improvements since she began personally walking the Mall in 2006, following assaults on residents and tourists. Dimly lit sections of the Mall are believed to have contributed to the crimes, but this summer, Norton found improved Mall lights and staffing levels, making the Mall a virtually crime-free zone again for residents and tourists, for whom the Mall is a premier destination.
