Statistically speaking, while some areas of crime may be up or down in Peabody year-over-year, the Tanner City generally has either the same or significantly less violent crime (proportionately) than many other cities and larger towns in the Boston area.
The shooting at a Washington Street apartment Thursday night, just over a year after a double homicide over on Aborn Street -- a gunman also riddled a Lowell Street home with bullets in February 2011 -- has many readers talking about what they perceive is an escalated level of crime and violence in Peabody in more recent years. On one hand, people say crime is everywhere now and out of control, while on the other hand, people say Peabody is no different than any other city of its size in the United States, and in fact, may statistically even have less crime.

Note: 2009 crimes for national cities and towns with population between 46,000 and 52,000. National crime rates were only available for 2009 at the time of the report from the Dept. of Justice. Crime overall in the Tanner City continued on a downward trend last year, according to data recently released by the Peabody Police Department. The 2011 Annual Report from Chief Robert Champagne and department analysts shows the total number of criminal offenses decreased .2 percent from 2010 and …

I don't think there is enough police visibility in Peabody. Ex: I called the police and asked them if they could periodicaly check on bums sleeping, drinking an smoking in the vestibule at 8 Pierpont St. which is a synagogue. When I opened the vestibule door in the evening of Rosh Hashonah there was a bum sleeping there. I'm afraid they will set the building on fire. more ›
