Why is there no "crime" section?

Every similar page (cities in Ohio) has one: Cleveland does, Cincinatti and Akron have their own pages, Toledo does, Dayton does... but I see no Wikipedia coverage of crime in Columbus. Unless crime simply doesn't exist there, this seems like a significant omission. 2601:14D:8300:C950:B445:8228:CC47:BE51 (talk) 01:05, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While I will admit that it is strange, I (from my experiences) don't see much notable crime or over-the-top statistics. And while I'm not going to endorse or involve any stereotypes about Cleveland, I will admit that crime rates there are exponentially higher. Same can (somewhat) be said with Cincinnati. (Also there haven't been any major crime-related events in Columbus for a while now) 𝔐𝔢𝔪𝔢𝔊𝔬𝔡27 (talk) 13:39, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yeah it should even know there hasn't been many super major events. 50.126.213.11 (talk) 13:02, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think there should be a section about what happens in Columbus Ohio 50.126.213.11 (talk) 13:07, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

what about history in Columbus? 50.126.213.11 (talk) 13:08, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History of Columbus, Ohio

21st Century section

So, I just finished editing the section relating to the Neo-Nazi march from November and I looked back at the other History sections and realized how there's a lack of events in the previous sections (shootings, major events, etc), and how they just randomly pop up beginning in 2023 at the bottom of the section. Surely there's been other more severe situations in the past that would deserve to be added into the history section, would it be beneficial to remove the extra details due to the erratic placement? Or, add more events that occured in the past. Because I, as a Columbus resident, actually didn't know about the Ransomware attack, and as an avid Wikipedia reader, I like learning new things about places or people.
