Recent reports from various officials highlight a significant decrease in crime rates across different cities. Representative Wilson emphasized the importance of investing in prevention programs, such as the @5000RoleModels initiative, to reduce crime and combat the school-to-prison pipeline. Manhattan District Attorney Bragg reported a substantial drop in crime since taking office, with shootings down by 38% and homicides by 24%, attributing the success to precision prosecution and targeted investment, as discussed on @BrianLehrer. In Baltimore, Mayor Brandon Scott noted a historic reduction in homicides, with the city poised to record fewer than 300 murders for the first time in nearly a decade, marking a 20% decrease from the previous year. The mayor credited the Comprehensive Violence Prevention Plan, efforts to remove illegal guns from the streets, and community involvement for the progress made, which includes a reduction in nonfatal shootings, as shared on @CNN.
Thankful to join @OmarJimenez on @CNN to talk about how Baltimore is driving a historic reduction in homicides and nonfatal shootings. Our Comprehensive Violence Prevention Plan is working, we’re getting illegal guns off the street, and we’re doing it all with community. https://t.co/XVye9jq6UN
For the first time in nearly a decade, the city of Baltimore is set to have fewer than 300 murders this year, and they're seeing about a 20% drop compared to last year. @MayorBMScott says some of what they've been able to accomplish can be done in cities across the US. https://t.co/WWf0l7etBu

I’m all about prevention, not detention, and the fact is, when you invest in prevention programs like the @5000RoleModels, it reduces crime. It’s time to focus on community programs instead of the same policies that created the school-to-prison pipeline. https://t.co/zqU6LJAhHs
