Baltimore's violence prevention program credited with significant homicide reduction, now being replicated

Baltimore, once among the most murderous US cities, has seen a significant decline in homicides since 2022 under Mayor Brandon Scott's violence prevention program, which shifts from a culture of force to protection. The strategy, involving local associations and police, is now being emulated by other elected officials. The claim is based on a single source (Le Monde) and lacks specific statistics, so the magnitude of the reduction and the causal attribution remain uncertain.
