There are certain U.S. cities that have consistently battled violent crime — particularly homicide — throughout the past three decades: Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, even New York City.
Violent crime stories out of these beloved American cities frequently make news headlines due to local and national concern for their residents and the tourists who frequent these historic areas.
In 2021, more than a dozen cities reported record homicide numbers, following a trend of violence that began in 2020. The Big Easy attracts "a lot of tourists" to Louisiana year-round, Basco said, adding that city council members and other elected officials need to partner with community organizations to get a handle on violence before it impacts tourism revenue.
"Based on my knowledge of Birmingham and similar cities, they have a very lenient bond process and pretty much a signature bond that let[s] you back out regardless of the crime. When violent offenders aren't locked away, violence increases," Everett Johnson, president of the Alabama FOP said. "…I think it's a lenient bond system and a lenient criminal justice system.
"One of the major spikes in non-violent crime not only locally but nationally has to deal with larcenies, many of them involving vehicles," St. Louis Police Department Lt. Schellman said in a July 6 statement. "Larcenies in St. Louis County are down 7% overall. Much of this credit goes to the hardworking individuals of the St. Louis County Police Department. Our department is over 1,200 men and women, many working behind the scenes to keep our community safe.
Memphis, which did not appear on Asher's list, has also taken a turn for the better after ranking fourth for the most murders per capita in 2020.
