Show us where all the people accused of murder have been put on trial
and jailed.

"A string of killings, shootings, and teen mobs taking over Chicago
streets worsened this weekend with the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old
near “The Bean” sculpture off Michigan Avenue in Millennium Park. A
suspect was charged with second-degree murder, but 33 were shot this
weekend, five fatally. It’s the third such weekend within the last
month. Weekdays have been bad, too. Many say the city’s coming apart.
Why did they have to kill my Daddy,” asked one daughter last week
after two were slain in Humboldt Park. A woman was murdered after
trying to face down burglars in her Gresham home on the South Side.
Six more armed robberies were committed in several hours by a prolific
crew in Edgewater. 

At the root of it all: consequences for criminals are rare. That’s
shown by arrest rates we calculated from Chicago Police data for 2021
versus the baseline pre-Covid and pre-George Floyd year of 2019. It’s
also shown by actual prosecution rates for murder in both years. The
big take-away: until they get a tougher message, the bad actors won’t
let up. 

Chicago arrest rates are encouraging to criminals, and discouraging to
the law-abiding. A recent four-year crime data summary report from CPD
details how many major crimes have been committed in selected
categories. Combined with corresponding arrest data in CPD’s 2019
Annual Report and from CPD’s response to our public records request
about 2021 arrest totals, we were able to calculate arrest rates for
2019 and 2021 for several major crimes. We focused on categories
devoid of statistical noise. The results are alarming.

The arrest rate for motor vehicle theft dropped from 27 percent in
2019 to 10 percent in 2021. For aggravated battery it dropped from 20
percent in 2019 to 11 percent in 2021. For robbery it declined from 16
percent in 2019 to 9 percent in 2021. Even those that dropped only
slightly from 2019 to 2021 were alarmingly low last year. The arrest
rate in 2021 for criminal sexual assault in Chicago was only 19
percent. For burglary it was 5 percent."
