First off, Stan, you are a douche bag. Are you really saying that crime has to be wiped out in order for Youngstown to be prosperous? Really? You want to start with "restoring civilized behavior"? LOL That equates to treating the pain of cancer in the hopes that it will go away. Good luck with your primitive outlook on humankind.
Solution: Give people a purpose in life. When people have jobs, that provide them a living wage, most people will not feel the need to participate in illicit behavior. It's no coincidence that when the unemployment rates raise so do the crime rates and vise versa. Come on Stan, pull your head out of your simplistic ass and get with the program.
Youngstown's problem is not with criminals it's with the lack of jobs that fit the uneducated, mostly unskilled population- no offence Youngstowners. Face it, Youngstown has relied on manufacturing for a very long time. Those jobs were primarily "non-skilled" or "general labor" jobs. Those types of jobs have moved to India and China because in the 60's and 70's India and China were not fitted for this type of work. Guess what, now they are and they can do the same work for a fraction of the cost.
I'm not saying anything new and I don't pretend to have the answers but to boil it down to your usual asinine solutions is at best laughable and at worst pathetic.

My condolences and sympathy to the family. What a shame...
