Look! Crime is Down (Like It Was Before)
- Chicago is on track to have one of its lowest crime rates in decades, but some neighborhoods on the South and West sides seem stuck in time with persistently high violence rates — an inequality that demands attention, according to a new Yale University study.
Professor Andrew Papachristos also found a greater proportion of murders in the city involve street gang members since the mid-1990s. Murders among rival gangs are on the decrease, but killings among factions within the same gang are on the rise, he wrote.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel pointed to the positive news in the report, saying the drop in crime isn’t a one-year blip, but something historic.
“This is not just 2013 against 2012,” the mayor said. “This is 2013 against the last 40 years. That is what is significant.”
Big Deal. Chicago is returning to the downward slope that it had been tracking on until Rahm and McCompStat decided to start a "Let's See What Happens if We Try To Do Less With More" strategy that blew up in their faces, resulting in a step-up of hiring numbers and an overtime surge that continues to this day. Rahm wants credit for returning to the status quo and just forget about all those dead people in 2012. That would be a drag on any future Senate or White House campaigns.

It's called hide the numbers.... Now that McComstat manipulated the property crime numbers it's time to hide the murder numbers and shootings...
Tell me how you can be shot in April 2012 and die in 2013 but the city don't count the murder in 2013, or 2012 now for that matter....
1. Projects are gone
2. Fire ambulances are like ER's
3. EMT's save many more that years ago through excellent training
4. ER's are like surgical centers with better trained doctors and nurses with new and more technical training and equipment.
5.CPD does not report correct stats
6.If you put 50 or more extra officers in districts crime will go down because they don't chase the radio all night to nonsense calls.
7. Rahm and the yes men bosses are soooooooooooo smart
I thought there were one or two killed and ten or more shot but still alive this past weekend. However, if Yale University says the overall crime rate is way down, then it must be so. Da mayor made it happen and he should get the credit. Chicago can be proud.
top-cop math says 7,000 guns have been taken off the streets and homicides are down 18 percent over 2012.
therefore we guess he only needs to take 35,000 guns off the streets to make homicides go down by 90 percent.
of course on the other hand isp reported way back in march 2013 illinois had about 1.5 million foid card holders and that record applications were being submitted thru-out 2012 -- by jan 2013 foid card apps were running 70,000 per month and the isp was 60 days behind in processing.
so maybe homicides show a decrease over 2012 because ppl are arming up eh.
if we assume that just 10 percent of those foid applications - just 10 percent - for that one month of jan - are for chicago i think it's safe to say we have more guns in the city not less guns.
shhhhh. but let's not bring that foid stuff up tho. it's the cutting of street cop staffing initiatives right
all that said i'm not buying the false narcissistic premise of the powers that be that it is because of their initiatives homicides are down vs 2012
plus or minus four percent chicago homicides hasn't budged compared to 2011-2010-2009.
why couldn't homicides be down vs 2012 because of higher success rates in the trama centers or the e-r's, or als first responders.
maybe it's the nija's 'code of silence' that turns the homicides into a death investigation.
but, no-no, like the entertainment districts i-phone picking and subsequent victim discouragement to bother filing a crime report because the masters have the system so jazzed that you'd have to be a moron to throw even more good time and money after the bad.
no, don't look at the 911 calls that the victim decides to drop because that would ruin this illusion of control that the brass promotes. just give out little twisted tib-bits on statistics that paint a picture that things are working --everything's fine.
correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation people, the brass can keep up the repudiation propaganda tho. we're not buying it.
Respect comes from the top down. Rahm doesn't show the public that he respects the Chicago Police Department, so the Gangs don't respect nor fear the Police, either...and too many officials turn the other cheek. Lots of Drama out there with plenty of dead and dying bodies.
crime is down so much that when a foia request was filed in order to obtain info on off-duty cpd officer's being attacked in the 19th -- the brass found it necessary to try and censor just about the entire document - what a joke take a look..
http://crimeinboystown.blogspot.com/2013/12/unappealing-cpd-releases-off-duty.html
they got something to hide..eh.
sure it's embarrassing. it f-ups the political script.
we wonder if the victims here got the same caps-like speeches from the brass about being aware of ones surroundings and to run back inside your home and lock the doors if you see a stranger in your neighborhood
you know, the shifting the blame speeches that it's our own fault if we get jacked up.
who was it.. the band called 'the talking heads'....they had a song with the lyric '..same as it ever was'
OT: Is it true Sgt. T.E. from 019 really went to Ohare after probation then made sgt from there?
The report says they use FBI UCR data to calculate crime rates for other cities.
Then, for the City of Chicago, the report decides to "impute the violent crime rate for 2012 from our data at hand."
In other words, "after using the UCR data for everyone else, we're going to use our own calculations for Chicago."
Ummmm.... OK.
The report is here if anyone wants to read it: http://images.politico.com/global/2013/12/15/48yearsofcrime_final_ispsworkingpaper023.html
Funny thing is:
1973 Chicago Pupulation 3,370.000
2013 Chicago Population 2,714.000
Loss of 656,000 in 40 years.....
One would expect quite a drop in
crime with that kind of drop !!!
Quit patting yourselves on the back
Rahm & Gary !!!!
any report which touts lower crime and/or murders without mentioning the massive overtime costs associated with targeted patrol is bs....our strategy is lie and spend money like a drunken sailor---not create an actual working fix
NRA's "First Freedom" magazine has a nice article explaining how the police in the UK have cooked the books since they banned guns in 1997.
The truth is that nobody really knows what the crime rate is in the UK, much like Chicago.
Remember, less police means less reported crime. This is especially true in neighborhoods that have seen lots of new section 8 dwellers in the last decade.
There are two interesting things about this article. He compares his numbers, with the accompanying neighborhood map o f crime rates, to 2011 (not 2012. We're about the same as 2011. Also there is never a mention that in 1965 (some 40 years ago)Chicago's population was 3.6 million, not 2.5 million of today. What do you think we would be like if there were still an additional 800-900,000 people here?
That's because folks are not reporting it. Why bother. a report is just for the insurance company if you have insurance.
The increased and intense physical presence of police personnel via the overtime initiatives completely contradicts the concepts of Community Policing and the Concept of doing More with Less. The reality is Rahm is saying one thing while doing another, this intense police presence cannot be maintained. The destruction of the Projects, and entire neighborhoods on the West and South Side is what is reducing crime and driving it to the burbs.

---------------
Based on the above stats, Rahm and Gary will say that less population justifies less police. We need to push that less population justifies less aldermen.
The news fails to mention that in 1965 Chicago had 3.3 million people and in 2013 only has 2.7 million. So if the murder rate is the same now and it was in 1965 then the murder/crime rate is actually HIGHER today.
The news never tells you the truf.
If we worked in the private sector we would be looking at HUGE pay increases for delivering such stellar results with so little resources.
blahblahblah
spinspinspin
Guess we will be getting great contract! Means officers are doing a great job! Look at how the pathetic Chicago school system got huge raises for a completely substandard system, but this is Chicago where our politicians would make Al Capone appear honest, so "no contract for you" where had our own where's Waldo been? Hiding! Mike stop trying to negotiate child send it to arbitrator what are you waiting for? Payoff?
Anyone who buys into this is a party member or a fool. Do you feel safer? Are there more police in your neighborhoods? If you have been a victim, was your police service prompt and credible, or lip service?
When they stop BSing and patting themselves on the back, we'll stop telling the real story. These two are absolutely shameless and the media never calls them on it.
When I read this article yesterday on this 'Study' by these Yale eggheads the very first paragraph made me just a tad...uh...'uneasy'. This is the salient part: '...but some neighborhoods on the South and West sides seem stuck in time with persistently high violence rates — an inequality that demands attention...'
Got that -- read it carefully and s-l-o-w-l-y -- an "inequality". And it "DEMANDS" (our) 'attention'. Let that sink in really really good for a moment.....
...... Good, now are ya ready for the $64,000 Dollar question?...well here it comes: What pray tell is the standard solution by libtard eggheads for and/or to all 'inequalities'....come on, you know the answer. Yep! That's right, you got it -- You Spread It Around -- to make it, 'Equal'. Oh and fair, we can't forget making it 'fair'.
So just like King Richie II initially spread crime around the city by demolishing 'the projects' and moving the 'Bangers all over the fucking place, watch for Tiny Dancer to come up with some new programs that will spread Crime even more-so from the South & West sides that have an unequal amount of crime into the once and/or few remaining 'safe' neighborhoods.
The Rahmfather will do this via new City Regs for Apartment Bldgs and Section Eight Vouchers, and/or with more mandatory 'Affordable Housing' units in new High-Rise buildings. But one way or another, 9.5 and the DemonRATS will make, 'Violent Crime Fair & Equal For All'.
Twenty - Twenty-five years ago this would be an insane idea or conclusion. But as we learned from Billy-Jeff Klintoon, 'words have meaning'. And then we learned real fucking quick from Barack Mugabe Obama about inequality & everyone *paying* their "fair share" -- which includes becoming crime victims (paying for our past sins. /s).
So watch out. In a few years the entire city will become a Free Fire Zone for the dope-slingin' gang-bangin' shitheads.
More murders than New York and Los Angeles and the Mayor is patting himself on the back?
Here is why you should come to 005
1. Plenty of parking
2. Experienced and fair bosses
3. A new commander who hasn't found his key
to the ivory tower yet.
I know it's a tough sell but honestly it's not a terrible
Place to work. Just saying
ask the 8 or 9 thousand coppers who work beat/rapid/tac/gangs if they think crime is down--- ask the dic's who have mountains of case files piled on top of their desks if crime is down--- figures don't lie but liars figure...
There are people who were killed last year as a direct result of Rahm and Garry - the blood is on their hands. How do you sleep at night?
Channel 9 news reported homicides are down, the lowest number since 1965. Can the herd possibly be thinning? That would be good news.
Hey Rhammy McComPost...any stats on elected official crime & indictments? Are those numbers falling too like my real estate taxes?
So the Chicago Police Department has lowered ALLcrime index numbers to record numbers? So are you two mouth pieces are going on a public relation blitz on behalf of men and when of the CPD who got this done with working with less. Will you 9.5 and McDrunk tell the citizens of Chicago how we have earned a decent contract, a decent raise, decent medical insurance, and most of all that Police Officers EARNED that pension that was PROMISED and should NOT and WILL NOT be DIMINISHED.

ONLY because the majority of those were shot and killed on the West/South sides!!!! :)
The city's homicide rate has been dropping steadily since 2001. In 2011 we were at 435 according to the city which was the lowest total since 1965. So the rate has been trending down before and regardless of what McJackass does. We should finish the year around 415 which is where the rate was heading before the rate jumped 18% in 2012.
How come he doesn't take credit for the increase.
why doesn't anyone talk about 1970's medicine and how bad it was, just look at troops killed in vietnam vs now? Modern medicine and the ambulances with advanced tech and hospital trauma centers reduce homicides.
They've changed the language and the true meaning of words in order to spin the message the crime is down...
Comp-Stat is nothing more than statistics making ugly babies with circular logic in order to get the results these people want.
Comp-Stat explained in mathematical terms for the layman?
A bullshit variable rubbed against a plausible constant = whatever the fuck they want it to...
Got it?
An intentionally destroyed Police Department...
Citizens being left on their own due to delayed Police response due to the intentional destruction of CPD...
Citizens non-reporting of crime because thepowers that be put a system in place that is intentionally non-responsive to the citizens.
Tax-Paying areas having their Police coverage stolen from them because they're "too nice" to kick up a fuss/too busy trying to live life...
Notice how tax-paying areas have borne the brunt of "consolidation" with more to come with the impending merger of 020 and 024?
The curent talk is how the people of 019/023 have been sold a bill of goods.
From two disricts with a manpower compliment of approximately 350 officers each to one unwieldly super-district with a manpower compliment somewhere in the mid 200's.
Funny how that happened...
All the other consolidations are shaking out to be the same thing?
13500 what?
Looking forward to a nice raise and better benefits as rahm notices what a great job with less resources that Cpd is doing wonder when mike will send our well overdue contract to the arbitrator to get it done! Is mike using another stalling technique to delay the contract?
40 yrs huh...wait till the weather breaks,I wonder if the tiny rat will leave town for a vacation like previous years
Murdering savages will continue to kill, no matter what "Gang"they are in. Even if in the same clique.
Watch out for the carjackers they are not being picky. They just don't want to walk.
"Crime Is Down"
Ok...
This can be attributed to the Police, right?
Or perhaps to the brilliant strategies of the smartest, most integrity oriented municipal ceo ever and his apt, able and wholly competent hand chosen police administrator who is the walking/talking personification of Peelian Policing principles?
Or perhaps the loss of nearly one million people in population since "1965" which seems to be the benchmark they like to reference when talking up crime reduction?
Our natural bias is toward attributing the drop to The Police...
So... As a reward and a gesture of good faith, >Snicker!< how about the powers that be get out in front in the media and quash all this silly talk about how The Police, who were so instrumental in crime being down, must take a haircut on their pay, benefits and pensions.
Well? What say you?
You ARE interested in putting forth a pay/benefit package to attract and keep the very people who are so instrumental in crime being down, aren't you?
Or is it actually the smartest, most integrity oriented municipal ceo ever and his apt, able and wholly competent hand chosen police administrator who are out in the field leading the charge?
What say you local media?
Which ever one could it be?
Never you mind that laughter in the background...
OT: Is it true Sgt. T.E. from 019 really went to Ohare after probation then made sgt from there?

Is this due to fewer cops hired to replace retirements ="s less cops to fill out incident reports?
Crime would be totally erased except for the South and West sides of the City!

Guess what?
After 2 out of my 5 kids moved out on their own the argument frequency in our household dropped back down to what they were like in the 80's.
Crime is down because you have less Police Officers doing reports!
Crime victims don't wait around to tell their tales of woe to an Officer that may show up within 20 minutes or longer!
I know, I have no time to do any proactive policing when you are chasing the radio all night from call to call because of RAPS!
It doesn't matter how it really is. It only matters how it can be made to appear..
Shields and the FOP lose another one. Judge Holderman threw out the Underwood case., saying Retiree healthcare is not guaranteed.
What crimes are down? What crimes are LE not expected to always answer to/report now? And when they are answered, how are they reported?
I'd want to see how this conclusion was reached before I gave it any credence.
There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.
Guys why are you so bitter? Give credit to where it's due. The strategy of paying out overtime instead of hiring more officers is pure brilliant. We are active participants in their strategy. Their new strategy is working because of the brilliance of your mayor and white shirts. The violent crime rate goes down and you guys are bitching about it. So typical of you blue shirts.

The crime rate is not coming down until Rahm moves into Englewood!!!
Utter bullshit and the media knows it...
"Crime is down" to what it was in 1965?
City population is DOWN nearly one million souls from 1965?
BUT!
If crime is down to 1965 levels along with the decrease in population, wouldn't that actually mean that the per capita crime RATE is sky motherfucking high?
Garbage in = Garbage out in the ballyhoo about crime is down.
Which metric are they using to measure this?
Raw numbers?
Per capita?
What the fuck do these morons define as an ACTUAL crime?
Bull-Muthafuckin'-SHIT!
Hijack the language in order to script the message you want to convey.
Use funny math in which a constant is rubbed against intentionally vague variables to get the end result you desire.
How can the majority of Chicagoans be so stupid as to not see what's going on?
Whoopsie!
The "new" majority in Chicago are the "Catered To Constituency."
Eff you middle class churls and Cops who like to think for yourselves!
Rahm has no use for you...
Well... Your money perhaps...
Lots of interviews on tv today, with residents of the areas where McTootMyOwnHorn is saying 'crime is down'.
They're not buying it. They're SAYING they're not buying it.
And at least one of the stations actually - gasp - said out loud that they're going to need to be convinced soon, because those are the areas that carried Emanuel into office and the next election isn't that far off.

It's obvious you're trying to stir the pot, but I'll bite, anyway.
Crime isn't down. Crime REPORTING is down. Crime CLASSIFICATION is down.
Beg them to send you a car for a report, nowadays. It just happened? Too bad; we'll switch you to 311 for a report for your insurance (and, yes, 911 really says that). No insurance? Why bother to make a report? Crime is down. (wink, wink. Sure it is.)
I love how you north siders goof on each other.

This is absolutely correct. Compstat removed 13 previously recorded homicides (delayed fatals) from the numbers a couple of weeks ago. They also added a few to 2012's numbers that they did not make homicides last year to keep the numbers down. So they are manipulating this year's and last year's numbers. So delayed fatals are never accounted for. If you compare apples to apples and count homicides as we have in the past, we are simply right back to where we were when McCarthy got here...meaning no improvement.
Worst part is, the chief of detectives has gone along with the program and drank the kool aid by the gallon.
we did it give us a raise and protect our pension!!!!!!
crime is down because they are giving the money for your pensions to welfare rats and illegal immigrants.
Papachristos said he released his report as part of a book he's writing on Chicago gangs. Asked Monday if he was surprised that the Emanuel administration pointed to the report as evidence that its crime-fighting tactics are working, Papachristos laughed.
"The last few pages of my report are clear: I don't say the decrease is attributable to anything," he said. "I think that's what happens in the political world, right?"
Whoa, whoa, whoa...the mayor said it is because of Garry's crime fighting strategy! How dare he not agree!

He has pimped PO's out so much and fronted them off on the radio for little shit like 1 or 2 minutes over on a personal or lunch that if he were sprawled out on the sidewalk most people would just step over him.
It is also true that he got popped in the face by a PO in 014 for the chickenshit way he treats police officers. He has two master degrees from the University of Chicago and doesn't know the first thing about leadership or dealing with people he supervises.

There are reasons why the FBI does not accept Chicago's crime stats as legitimate numbers. The rest of the country adheres to certain crime classification and reporting standards.
Chicago uses the Bernie Madoff method of accounting and the Louie and Vito method of keeping crime stats.
According to US census
Chicago Population. 2.7 million. Homicide ytd 395
New York City. " ". 8.3 million. ". ". 316
LA. City. ". ". 3.8 million. ". ". 240
And we're proud of this?????
Crime us down because the Compstat Unit headed by Lt. K. M. that reclassifies crimes...period as Obama would say! IG is looking at the BS. Hopefully the truth comes out but I'm not holding my breath.

He's been told the same thing in 019...
