On Tuesday, July 13, 2016, community residents and stakeholders attended a public meeting, as part of the Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation project, to discuss issues affecting South Side neighborhoods where concentrations of crime are the highest in the city.
The project, funded through a grant from the Department of Justice, includes an analysis of ten years of Youngstown Police Department data to identify crime trends, patterns, and hotspots. Input from community members will be used to identify crime drivers, as well as solutions to issues affecting neighborhood safety and quality of life. The data analysis and community input will used to create an implementation plan that contains strategies to reduce crime and improve neighborhood conditions.
