violent crime

A city-sponsored working group has been meeting since November and conducted a survey of businesses and residents. Nearly 50 business owners said crime is too big a problem.

Thirty-one children age 17 or younger have been shot so far this year, more than triple the number this time last year.

Nearly every category of crime went down in Cincinnati last year, contributing to an all-time low number of violent crimes.

Although overall crime is at a 10-year low in the city, shootings have not yet dropped to pre-pandemic levels. Cincinnati tied the record for gun-related homicides last year, with 84 deaths.

Only two categories of crime are up at least 10% compared to the five-year average: aggravated assault and auto theft. All other crimes are down, including burglary, robbery and rape.

Shootings are down about 22% compared to last year, when Police Chief Eliot Isaac says the city saw the most shootings in at least a decade.
