Maryland’s crime solutions are working, and have been for some time. It’s in metaphorical maintenance mode, rather than needing active development.

Maryland minus Baltimore? Seems like Baltimore is in the top 10 for violent crimes, but drops to #12 for murder.

    That’s great news for a city that used to consistently be top 3.

    >> Since 2021 homicide numbers have down trended, reaching a 13-year low of 201 in 2024. Between 2021 and November 2025 there was a 61% reduction in homicides. In 2025 Baltimore recorded 133 homicides, its lowest in nearly 50 years.
