Crime in Cincinnati
Crime in Cincinnati, Ohio has been a concern of residents since the 18th century.
==Earliest years==
The first recorded crime in Cincinnati's history was a petty theft in 1789. Under the judgement of William McMillan, informally appointed justice of the peace, one Patrick Grimes was sentenced to twenty-nine lashes after being caught stealing cucumbers. This occurred during the first year of the settlement, then still named "Losantiville", at which time food and other resources were extremely scarce.〔''Cincinnati: A Guide to the Queen City and Its Neighbors''. ''American Guide Series''. Cincinnati: Wiesen-Hart, 1943, 8.〕 Controversies over law enforcement quickly followed the establishment of government in the community: the military commander at Fort Washington deemed the region to be under his government, rejecting any authority set up by the settlers. When a second crime was reported to Judge McMillan, the accused fled to the fort for refuge, and the commander ordered Losantiville's court to renounce its jurisdiction. To this the judge replied with a message suggesting that the commander mind his own business, and blows ensued when a detachment of soldiers was sent to arrest the judge. However, permanent civilian law enforcement was established soon after the incident. In August 1788, the Northwest Territory legislature, meeting in Marietta, had enacted an enabling act creating a Court of Quarter Sessions for the region, and local residents quickly took advantage of the law's provisions; William McMillan was named one of the court's first judges.〔Greve, Charles Theodore. ''(Centennial History of Cincinnati and Representative Citizens )''. Vol. 1. Chicago" Biographical, 1904, 309.〕
