Accepting the Republican Party’s presidential nomination Thursday night in Cleveland, Donald J. Trump gave a speech focused on urban violence and criminal justice.

“We will be a country of generosity and warmth, but we will also be a country of law and order,” Trump said. “I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon — and I mean very soon — come to an end.”
