Crimes climbing in the center of Boston

Wu is also facing homemade problems on safety with a community session on Thursday, related to shopping and drug use in the center of Boston.

While Wu and Michael Cox police commissioner presented a lower crime in the city in general, the total crime in the center of Boston was at a maximum level of seven years last year.

“You can see that people who leave TJMAXX, Marshalls, home goods and security are trying to collect their goods back, and people are fighting with them,” said Mack Celestin, a long-term security agent in the city center.

Problems collapse from other parts of the city.

“We have a lot of drug and violence trafficking associated with the mass movement and CASS,” said Municipal Councilor Ed Flynn.

The initiative of selling the city

Wu has told reporters that she is aware of problems and hopes that the police can dedicate more resources to lower level crimes due to the success of the city that addresses violent crime.

“For example, there has been an initiative and a specific shopping effort, which is a close partnership between the Boston police and the district lawyer. It has given up some new ways of approaching this problem,” she said.
