By Leonard “Guzz” Brophy It is difficult to analyze an unfinished story, but it appears Covid-19 has at least one benefit worldwide: safer neighborhoods with less crime. Social distancing may be a felony and misdemeanor deterrent. Whether that is specifically true in Culver City is yet to be determined. According to the Police Department’s Monthly Crime Map report, which tracks preliminary reports of activity in the city, the month of April (the first month with the city under full lock down) included eight robberies, six assaults with deadl...
