Gang violence is a significant issue in The Bronx, fueled by factors such as social media disputes that escalate to real-life confrontations, a desire for material goods, and the lingering effects of the pandemic on community equilibrium. 

In April 2025, 63% of citywide shootings occurred in The Bronx, with gang activity.

Authorities have responded with large-scale law enforcement actions, arrests, and indictments, while community-based programs focus on prevention, job training, and providing outlets for at-risk youth. 

As the Bronx grapples with a surge in gun violence, New York City’s mayoral contenders are racing to present concrete plans to stem the tide of shootings plaguing the borough. From bold policing initiatives to community-driven prevention programs, each candidate is staking out distinct approaches to one of the city’s most urgent crises.
