Boston is 44 percent white and 23 percent black. Our friends at The Boston Herald have just confirmed if the city had no black population, it would have no fatal/nonfatal gun violence. [Boston gun violence concentrated in four neighborhoods, Boston Herald, April 8, 2023]
A weeklong workshop aimed at reducing gun violence in Boston concluded that most of the crimes were occurring among a small number of people in four neighborhoods, with primarily Black men harmed.
The data, compiled by the Boston Police Department, show serious violence was highly concentrated in Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan and Roxbury from 2018 to 2022, according to a presentation provided by the city.
Further, 84.6%, or roughly 115 of the city’s 136 homicide victims, and about 78%, or 49 of 63 homicide offenders from 2020-2022 were Black, with the majority of these crimes committed by or killing men in general.
