There have been over 392 homicides reported over the last 5-6 years in Pulaski County. The United States spends an average of over 4.5 billion on emergency and physical/occupational therapy associated with crime-related injuries/deaths, with more than 720,000 spent on youths and young adults ages 10-24 treated for injuries sustained from violence.
