cleveland.com (subscription required): Daniel Flannery, the Dr. Semi J. and Ruth Begun professor and director of the Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, said the decline in Cleveland’s crime rates is “generally good news.” What’s more, as the weather cools, he expects crime rates to decrease from where they were in the summer in large part because more young people are in school.
