Baltimore recorded 201 homicides in 2024 , the lowest annual total in over a decade , police data shows.

Group Violence Reduction Strategy targets root causes of gun violence: hopelessness, joblessness, poverty, mental health, substance abuse.

The program uses a “carrot and stick” approach: It offers resources and social services to those most likely to become shooters.

The new anti-violence strategy operates in four of nine police districts, with plans to expand citywide.

Researchers found it was responsible for reducing shootings and homicides by roughly a quarter in the city’s notoriously violent Western District .

Mayor Brandon Scott , who won reelection last year , released a five-year plan in 2021 that he hoped would reduce Baltimore gun violence by 15% annually .
