BROCKTON – A peace march for city youth is planned for Saturday after the recent slaying of a city teen at the James Edgar Playground.

Or how about taking these marches to the State House seeing as Brockton can't handle it?
Maybe that would bring us more funding.
A march with 15, 20 or 30 people is a laugh. It should be hundreds. Anyhow, have any of these marches done any good,m big or small? We all know the answer. it's no. Tiny groups are a feel good waste. Get Crime Watch back into action and start working together as an entire city.

". Our rankings are based solely on the data publicly released each year by the FBI. A crime is a crime, so we took both violent and property crimes into account when compiling our list of Massachusetts’ most dangerous cities. Our list of dangerous cities, however, are ranked according to violent crime rate.*
Granted their objective is to sell security so they're going to be "doom and gloom". But they obviously have facts to base the statistics on.

I agree that their objective is to sell security so I wonder how often the FBI is involved in Brockton's criminal investigations versus those of other cities? Would that skew their statistics if the security company is using just FBI data which, presumably would only involve the FBI for the "worst of the worst"? If another city had the same rate of crime, but fewer FBI involvements, wouldn't their percentage be lower based on their explanation? This topic seems familiar - I think statistics were explained in a similar way on the old IBC site referencing a map of Brockton that showed concentrations of various criminal actions over the course of a year in our neighborhoods. Overall, the city did not look as bad to me, since there were key areas where most activities occurred. The great majority of Brockton showed little or no crime. Anyway - we will never beat this rap.

Apparently 20 casings found around Dover, Harvard. ( many, many streets over)! House hit with a bullet. Allegedly lowlifes shooting at each other while racing in cars. No one apprehended.
Be safe. Shootings in all neighborhoods, "safe" or not. Someone innocent will die. And it won't be the "thugs" who'll just kept shooting at each other.

A car was struck multiple times with bullets on Minot Avenue about 9:15 p.m., Wednesday, where Brockton Police later found nine shell casings in the road, Lt. Kenneth LeGrice said.
The incident was one of at least six in Brockton this week where peoples’ homes, vehicles and property have been riddled with bullets throughout the city.
The gunfire has residents and police on edge.
Minot Avenue is less than a half-mile from West Harvard Street where police recovered 25 shell casings in the street early Wednesday morning. One of the bullets passed through the side of a house and went through the ceiling of a 5-year-old girl’s bedroom.
Late Tuesday night, three vehicles were shot and police found four .40 caliber casings on Chester Street about 11:55 p.m. Around the same time, undercover detectives were following closely behind two cars on Mason Street when they heard shots close by and both cars fled.
On Perry Avenue, around 5:20 p.m., Tuesday, a car was shot and six .9-millimeter shell casings were located on the street.
Late Monday night, a Domino’s pizza delivery driver’s vehicle was shot at seven times as the driver was chased across the city by two men in a minivan, police said. The delivery driver’s car was hit twice times in the rear of the car and once in a rear tire.
