The Jacksonville programs being used to fight against violent crime
As crime numbers rise in some cities, one city seeing a decrease in crime is Jacksonville.
But while the overall crime rate in 2020 was down 9.7% in Jacksonville, there were still 12 more murders and an additional 1,075 aggravated assaults last year than in 2019. That’s a 13% increase in murder and a 25% increase in assaults.
With 14.5 murders per 100,000 population, Duval County retained its dubious distinction as the murder capital of Florida in 2020, with many coming as a result of gun violence.
