Cincinnati launches "ACT for CINCY" to fight youth gun violence through community and police reforms.

Cincinnati leaders have unveiled "ACT for CINCY," a comprehensive plan to combat youth gun violence, focusing on five areas: neighborhood improvement, restricted firearm access, well-being enhancement, youth support, and police innovation. The plan includes mental health services, mentorship, and aims to reduce gun-related injuries by 5-10% within three years. It follows a 20% decrease in juvenile gun violence in 2024 after a 2020-2021 spike, though overall violent crime increased by nearly 4%.
