Its troubles have intensified in recent years. In 2021, the city had a record number of killings, with 346. In 2022, the violent crime rate compared with last year’s has only marginally improved, according to police statistics.
The Memphis Shelby County Crime Commission and the University of Memphis Public Safety Institute have released a report showing statistics on the city’s crime rates for the first half of 2022.
The eight-page report reads that the percentage of violent crimes being committed with a gun nearly doubled in the last decade.
This increase corresponds with an increase in property crime, where guns are being stolen out of cars. The head of the Memphis Shelby Crime Commission says it’s all connected.
