    What Can Cities Learn From Baltimore’s Extraordinary Decline in Violence?

    Baltimore's Group Violence Reduction Strategy (GVRS), launched in 2022, led to a significant decline in homicides and shootings by 2026, marking the fewest first-half-year homicides since the 1960s. The strategy, combining focused deterrence, community intervention, and sustained leadership, shows a 23% drop in homicides and 2.5% in nonfatal shootings compared to 2025.
