Youngstown, Ohio, has been designated as the "murder capital" of the United States several times, particularly in the late 1980s and early 1990s, largely due to its high per capita homicide rate. This recognition stemmed from a combination of factors, including economic decline and gang violence. Although the city has seen improvements and reductions in crime rates since then, it still grapples with challenges related to violence. The specific number of times it has held this title can vary based on the criteria and time frame used in different reports.
