Mayors and police officials around the U.S. are rolling out familiar strategies in response to the traditional summer bump in violent crime
*Private security personnel patrol the area around Anish Kapoor's stainless steel sculpture Cloud Gate, also known as"The Bean," in Chicago's Millennium Park Thursday, May 25, 2023. Chicago is heading into the Memorial Day weekend hoping to head off violence that tends to surge with rising temperatures of summer. Even the state of Illinois is assisting by sending in what it's called"peacekeepers" in an attempt to deescalate violent situations.
The shift is a tentative reprieve following those spikes that began in 2020 and began to come down last year. The totals remain far higher than pre-pandemic reports and are “cause for serious concern but not for panic,” said Thomas Abt, founding director of the Center for the Study and Practice of Violence Reduction at the University of Maryland.
"We are going back to the old days," Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said in announcing the summer enforcement, afteron a Sunday night in the city's popular Inner Harbor district. “The most dangerous people will be prosecuted immediately in federal court,” U.S. Attorney Dawn Ison said Wednesday. Johnson’s holiday weekend strategy includes making officers a visible presence, including bag checks at crowded beaches, parks and events. Philanthropic and business groups have donated to anti-violence groups organizing events aimed at young people. And the state of Illinois has authorized a team of 30 “peacekeepers” — not police — who have training and experience in deescalating conflict, to roam Chicago aiming to prevent outbreaks of violence.
