Crime in Baltimore
The city of Baltimore, Maryland, United States is infamous for its considerably high crime rate, including a violent crime rate that ranks high above the national average.
== Crime statistics ==
In 2011, Baltimore police reported 196 homicides, the lowest number since recording 197 homicides in 1978. That number is far lower than the peak homicide count of 353 in 1993. The drop in 2011 was significant, but the homicide rate was in the same range as the late 1980s when the city population was 130,000 higher. City leaders credited their sustained focus on repeat violent offenders and an increased community engagement for the continued drop, reflecting a nationwide decline in crime. However, Baltimore's decline was short-lived, as a reported 219 and 235 homicides were committed in 2012 and 2013, respectively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Baltimore Passes Curfew For Youth )〕 Baltimore's jump in homicides in 2013 defied regional and national trends.
Violent crime spiked in 2015 after the death of Freddie Gray on April 19, 2015, which touched off riots and a crime wave that has resulted in an increase in murders. Baltimore has seen 211 murders as of August 19, 2015, which equaled the total number of murders that occurred in Baltimore in all of 2014. On July 10, 2015 Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake fired Police Commissioner Anthony Batts, saying his presence had become a distraction in a city that needs to focus on ending a dramatic spike in homicides. The city has taken steps to quell the increased violence by seeking assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigations and other federal agencies, including embedding FBI agents in the City's police homicide unit. On November 13, 2015 the number of murders for the year reached (and the next day surpassed) 300 for the first time since 1999. As of November 28, 2015 the number of murders for the year had reached 310.
Baltimore's level of violent crime is much higher than the national average. In 2009, a total of 1,318,398 violent crimes were reported nationwide across the United States, equivalent to a rate of 0.4 incidents per 100 people.
