History

Historical Context

In 2016, the FBI reported a 4.1% increase in violent crime across the U.S., with cities like Chicago and Baltimore particularly affected. This surge in violence, including incidents during the holiday season, reflects ongoing issues with gun violence and public safety. Recent events in Texas and Florida echo these challenges, emphasizing the urgent need for community intervention and policy reform to combat rising crime rates.
