Philadelphia is nearing 100 homicides so far this year following a historically bloody 2021 that saw more than 560 deadly crimes.
According to the latest data provided by the Philadelphia Police Department, homicides are up 8% from this point last year. In the pandemic-plagued 2020, there were 68 homicides after the first week of March and in 2019 there were 59.
Philly Truce is an organization that works to bring people together to resolve conflict before it turns deadly. This May marks the group’s one-year anniversary and more support is needed. In addition to conflict resolution through the app, the group canvasses neighborhoods on the weekends to encourage peace, save lives, and prevent prison.
Casher explains that the rising crime statistics increase fear and decrease community participation, which is detrimental to their group's goal.
