Areas that received higher levels of public investment in Community Violence Intervention experienced increased services, stronger program participation and the largest public safety gains.

That's according to a new impact report released by the Government Alliance for Safe Communities.

Speaking about the report, the Chicago Deputy Mayor for Community Safety said acts of violent crime in Chicago in 2025 reached a 60-year low.
