Problems with Drugs and Crime in Kensington Ave, Philadelphia

In Philadelphia as a whole, violent crime and drug abuse are major issues. The city has a higher rate of violent crime than the national average and other similarly sized metropolitan areas. The drug overdose rate in Philadelphia is also concerning. Between 2013 and 2015, the number of drug overdose deaths in the city increased by 50%, with more than twice as many deaths from overdoses as homicides. 2 Kensington’s high crime rate and drug abuse contribute significantly to Philadelphia’s problems.

Because of the high number of drugs in the neighborhood, Kensington has the third-highest drug crime rate by neighborhood in Philadelphia, at 3.57. The opioid epidemic has played a significant role in this problem, as it has in much of the rest of the country. Opioid abuse has skyrocketed in the United States over the last two decades, and Philadelphia is no exception. In addition to having a high rate of drug overdose deaths, 80% of Philadelphia’s overdose deaths involved opioids, and Kensington is a significant contributor to this figure. This Philadelphia neighborhood is said to have the largest open-air heroin market on the East Coast, with many neighbors migrating to the area for heroin and other opioids. With such a high concentration of drugs in Kensington, many state and local officials have focused on the neighborhood in an attempt to address Philadelphia’s problem.

    tidak ada negara yang benar-benar kaya secara rata, semua negara memiliki warga negara yang kaya dan miskin jadi saya tidak begitu terkejut melihat warga Amerika yang masih hidup miskin di negara yang katanya paling maju di bumi

  40. Tony Kunz on May 19, 2022 at 7:22 am

    A shameful waste of a life. A lot of the young ladies they showed on the streets there are actually beautiful women. Instead of selling their bodies and drugs and what not, they could be using their good looks to get themselves into an office and be having a good career. Certainly hope they can turn their lives around.

  41. Marcus P on May 19, 2022 at 7:22 am

    Living nightmare!!

  42. sibli khan on May 19, 2022 at 7:24 am

    Is this a developed country? It is a drunken country.

  43. Roberto DeBeers on May 19, 2022 at 7:25 am

    I’m surprised by the number of young women involved with/using drugs on the streets.

  44. Алексей on May 19, 2022 at 7:25 am

    Этих лидей нужно принудительно убирать с улиц и лечить либо умертвлять , так как это угроза для общества

  45. Interactive Fiction TV on May 19, 2022 at 7:26 am

    whats the point of doing/smoking/injecting/drinking/etc something just to fall asleep ? seems like a waste of time and money

  46. Надежда Фролова on May 19, 2022 at 7:27 am

    Почему государство не решает проблемы этих людей??

  47. norman palomino on May 19, 2022 at 7:28 am

    Wars everywhere while people dying on streets

  48. Onal West on May 19, 2022 at 7:29 am

    I am quite sad to see the lives of these people, they are very dependent in their lives. Many women and men have fallen into it. They should have had a much better life though. I know some of these people have homes and families, but they choose to live like this. I’m sad to see…

  49. Fernando Rodrigues on May 19, 2022 at 7:30 am
