University of Cincinnati students have launched a new alert system called Cincy Crime Stoppers in an effort to increase transparency about crime near campus.
Students at the University of Cincinnati have banded together to create the Cincy Crime Stoppers Instagram page to alert students about incidents around campus. A description for the Cincy Crime Stoppers says the page is for 'Bearcats who live off-campus and have been a victim of a crime' to 'send in anonymous tips to help keep' the 'community safe.
Cincy Crime Stoppers aims to not only give students more information about crime near campus but also help law enforcement get more tips. 'We want to get confirmed information before we send it out, of course, and we also want to put out … the most important stuff, but also this stuff that … is unreported by UC,' she said.
The school has not sent anything out. … Cincy Crime Stoppers is outraged. Parents are outraged. I know students are outraged,' Smith said, adding that hundreds of students shared the post after Cincy Crime Stoppers shared the news. Addison was a finance and IT major at UC's Lindner College of Business. 'Benjamin knew no stranger, he was kind to all, smiled constantly and was gentle and funny.
While overall violent crime has decreased since the pandemic, teen shootings and vehicle thefts reached record numbers in the city last year since at least 2008, when the city began keeping shooting records online, FOX 19 reported. In 2023, Cincinnati recorded 55 shooting victims between the ages of 13 and 15. The city also saw a record number of vehicle thefts, with 1,511 Kias and Hyundais stolen between January and July of last year.
