Anti-violence group says while progress is good, more needs to be done in Columbus

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Community organizations are working to come up with innovative ways to educate the public on violence de-escalation after the most recent homicide data released by Columbus Police shows arguments and disputes have caused more homicides than any other factor so far this year.

Columbus Police and community groups have used crime data over the last few years to see where their focus is needed most. It seems to be working as the city’s homicide rate is the lowest it's been year to date since 2013.
