Baltimore, a city long synonymous with high crime rates, is experiencing a transformation that deserves national recognition. In 2024, homicides in the city dropped by an impressive 23% compared to the previous year and a staggering 40% compared to two years ago. These statistics mark a sharp departure from the past and are a testament to the city’s renewed approach to tackling violence at its roots. At the forefront of this change is Mayor Brandon Scott’s Group Violence Reduction Strategy (GVRS)—an innovative program that places an emphasis on community engagement and targeted resource allocation for those most at risk of committing or becoming victims of violent crime.
