As with many former industrial-based cities in the rust belt, Youngstown in Mahoning County, Ohio is facing economic challenges. With financial struggles so often come higher incidents of criminal behavior. As such, the overall crime rate in Youngstown is significantly higher than the national average. In addition to violent and property crimes that are common in large urban areas, Youngstown has recently been in the news for corruption cases among high-ranking local government officials. Common criminal charges in Youngstown include:

• Assault and other violent crimes
• Drug manufacturing, possession, and trafficking
• Sex-related offenses
• Theft crimes, from shoplifting to burglary
• White collar crime
