Steven Malanga\xa0and\xa0Rafael Mangual\xa0join\xa0Seth Barron\xa0to discuss concerns that lawlessness is returning to American cities, a theme that Malanga and Mangual explore in separate feature stories in the Summer 2019 Issue of\xa0City Journal.

Memories of the urban chaos and disorder of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s have faded, and many local leaders today have forgotten the lessons of that bygone era. Malanga's story, "The Cost of Bad Intentions" (available soon online), shows how a new generation of politicians are bringing back some of the terrible policies that got American cities into trouble in the first place. On crime and incarceration, Mangual\xa0argues\xa0that the new disorder will grow worse if progressives manage to overhaul the American criminal-justice system.
