Silver Spring Leaders Express Concerns About High Crime Rate

Описание: A resident of Silver Spring is twice as likely to become the victim of a crime as someone who lives elsewhere in the state of Maryland. That’s according to the website Neighborhood Scout. It rates the chances of becoming a victim there at 1 in 513. That rate comes in at 1 in 255 for the rest of the state. It’s no secret the suburb struggles with criminal activity. Silver Spring garners headlines about carjackings, stabbing, and other violent incidents on a regular basis.

To find out what can be done, MyMCM spoke with two community leaders to get their feedback on this concerning situation and some possible solutions.
