Montreal police report a decline in homicides in 2023, attributing it to increased police presence, high-risk individual monitoring, and community collaboration.
Montreal police have reported a decline in homicides, crediting strategies including increased police presence in high-risk neighborhoods, monitoring high-risk individuals, and collaborating with community organizations. The number of homicides dropped from 41 in 2022 to 33 in 2023, with critics arguing that the police's focus on repression rather than prevention may lead to over-reliance on surveillance and increased stigmatization of young people.
