DRUG TRADE DRIVES MUCH OF THE VIOLENCE
In the past four years, violent crime has dropped a staggering 40
percent in Over-the-Rhine.
But an elusive and entrenched drug trade continues to thrive, one of
the biggest deterrents to the neighborhood's transformation.
Last year through November, police made 1,470 drug-related arrests -
the most of any city neighborhood, according to Cincinnati Police
statistics. Many are considered nonviolent offenses, but statistics
can be deceptive.
