The year 2023 is off to a tragic start. NBC 7 has reported on at least five homicides since New Year’s Day. NBC 7 spoke with a violence prevention activist who shares what he believes is behind an increase in violent crimes and how to stop it.
on violent crimes in 2021, among the 118 homicides, adults between 25 and 39 years old were most at risk. It also detailed how assailants usually knew their victims and arguments were the most common motive.“When you have all this celebrating, coming out and then New Years, you know everybody’s got these guns. They’re shooting them in the air, they’re partying and doing all those types of things.
Specifically the last few years, Bowser said the pandemic and racial reckoning may have greatly contributed to the violence. “Everything is closed down. You’re dealing with all this trauma and then you have all these protests in the streets. And policing isn’t as effective as it should be because of what is happening, because of the lockdown,” said Bowser.
Despite the violent start, Bowser is staying positive and hopeful his work will bring law enforcement, the community and elected officials together to change course.
