Baltimore just exposed America's lies. A Contagious Peace: Behind Baltimore's Historic Homicide Reduction. Baltimore cut its homicide rate by 60% from 2021 to 2025-largely through a public health approach to gun violence. The city has recorded just seven homicides in July. What if we've been solving crime the wrong way? That is the first single digit homicide rate since 2001, the lowest rate in over 20 years. Now ask yourself, why is this headline everywhere? Because the story doesn't fit the narrative to make communities safer, lock up. Mayor Brandon Scott and Governor Wes Moore, they have been investing in people, affordable infrastructure that creates jobs, programs that help high-risk individuals find work and housing, instead of only arrest. It's almost like people opportunities that they make different choices. I've been saying this, you can't police your way into healthy communities. You have to build them. So here's my question: If Baltimore's approach is working, why aren't more cities copying it? Let's talk about it.
