Paid Survey
The notoriously leftist UIC, via a grant from the liberal MacArthur Foundation, is running a paid survey from "randomly selected households" in Chicago
It sure seems to be some sort of study on the "perception" of crime. Anyone hear about this?

Northwstern? Dorne?? ummmm
They will obviously go fishing for people who have had so called bad experiences with cops. There's nothing random about this.
Yet it will be only one side of the story and boy can people put together some 'stories' when it comes to police encounters.
Anyone can say anything. They could be interviewing people who have a mental illness. Or they could just make it up and lie. The information is confidential anyway so if anyone asks for it they'll just say its confidential and the information can't be given out. If they make up names and addresses then who will find out?
I guess it all depends on what your perception of crime is?
And the big catch, "if your household is eligible" I wonder what the eligibility requirements will be...
Cherry-picking the survey participants for a pre-selected outcome?
Academically dishonest.
Intellectually lazy.
Morally reprehensible.
Not suprising.
Political ass cover from academia for Rahm having gutting
Police Manpower and negatively affecting the law abiding
citizen feeling safe on the public way that they pay obscene
taxes, fees and fines.
Shit, all they have to do is ask me, I'll save then some money.
Chicago is not safe, and neither is anywhere in this country because fools run the show.
Chicago police are not doing a very good job. Want to know why? Because if they try to be proactive police, they risk being fired and prosecuted.
an interviewer will determine if your household is eligible. so it's not random. And I bet if your household has a positive attitude toward the police YOUR NOT ELIGIBLE. More slanted BS
YOUR tax dollars at work.
So let me get this straight. An esteemed Northwestern University professor is the lead on a U of I Chicago survey.
Right there, the bells and whistle should be going off. Does not compute.
I don't perceive crime. Crime is down except MURDER and SHOOTINGS no big deal.
And you have and 8% chance of being convicted of a murder in Cook County.
Define "households"
Those damn liberals, and leftists are at it again.
If you are eligible? Doesn't the left believe EVERYONE is eligible?
Sounds good. Now can I do one in my neighborhood too? I'd like to talk about our non-existent police service in 016.

Another Skogan scam.
Another grant from some NGO is p___ed away -- paychecks all around to "facilitators" and "assistant managers" and "coordinators!"
A shrink-wrapped skid of fat loose-leaf binders is generated, on its way to first "dead storage" and then the landfill.
Nothing changes.
I don't trust a MFing thing from that place........the anti police agenda is rampant with those old hippie commies
I don't expect I'll be called upon, (R) 41st Ward.
"Participation in this study will help improve understanding of how Chicago residents feel about crime and policing in their communities...results will be made available to the public, the police and city officials."
How important can you be when they'll pay a 40 for your input ?
And when they conclude this interesting little side-story
to the ongoing progressive theater of failure now known as the "Shit Show"
that we upright people are forced to watch?
Watch for the resident swing-dicks and hang-tits in local media to ballyhoo
the "expected results" as a fixative for "what's wrong" with all you angry,
anti-social, blue collar, "conservative," (collective progressive-type group shudder
at the very notion ;^) hate-filled for no good reason, irate, out-of-control, racist,
rebellious, some-kind-of-phobe, unfriendly, violent tendency having Chicago Cops...
The last we checked, it isn't Policemen who are riotously
padding the butcher's bill in Chicago but quite naturally,
political expediency and moral cowardice dictates that
Policemen are targeted for "fixing" instead of being used
at their full power to effect positive change here at ground level.
The Police are perceived as the problem.
Never you mind what the reality is.
I'm a retired PO and received a notification on this and followed up. F-1 student interviewed me at home and was very professional. Asked questions for about 30 minutes and gave me cash for my time. I think it was $40.
This is probably somehow fed through the UIC police's liberal dumbfuck new Chief Booker. Sounds like something right up his alley.
Rahm and McNumbnuts will get the results they want from this.
This is not new. The object is to judge police efficiency by public perception of safety, rather than by arrest statistics.that theory has been around 20 years. Not really so bad. No relisnce or publication of crime statistics. No more cooked books, no comstat numbers. The same type of study was proposed 15 years ago at Loyola, but with unpaid and random selection. It was no go per Loyola.
Any time you invite participation or pay, the study is statistically invalid from the start. This is a longitudinal study, thus they are giving incentive to participate. I imagine the judgement of participation is whether you are a stable resident that they can find a year or two from now, living in the same place.
Wesley skogan wrote hundreds of pages on caps twenty years ago. He collaborated with susan Hartnett, writing a book, community policing chicago style. He was matt Rodriguez pet. That was then, this is now. This is his new money making project funded by the MacArthur foundation. It is just a different approach to evaluating police, deflecting attention to crime rates and focusing on the citizen perception of safety and crime. They can do that in a longitudinal study and claim things are better, people feel safer...forget those irrelevant shooting, I mean, crime, statistics.
Caps is passe, this approach is caps 2.0 without the meetings and "community nights out".
Skogan's voluminous works on caps didn't go anywhere, and neither, I expect, will this. But it might live another ten or 20 years.
The CWB Blog is smok'n. http://www.cwbchicago.com/2015/09/too-many-hoops-cpd-crime-reporting-site.html
Most of us don't have the time or inclination to go do two interview for a whopping $80. But, guess who does.
There was a tag left on my door with a phone number to call. My dad called it and an interviewer came out. He said he needed to speak to an adult female in the household (me). There were about an hour worth of questions about my interactions with police and if I thought I was treated fairly. Some of the questions did not allow for comments, just agree, disagree, strongly agree or strongly disagree. I'm a suburban police dispatcher, I stay out of trouble and I have no issues with the police. It was an easy $40 for me. Oh and they come back in a few months and go over the same questions for another $40.
If Northwestern has anything to do with it, it will be dishonest.
UIC also has a "Sexual Assault Survey" (Not joking here) It is in the form of a large postcard (quality greeting card stock) that includes the survey/web address. It even has a little intro by McStreetlights himself. Nothing like wrapping up the initial interview by handing your CSA victim a survey card...... "Hey, let us know how that whole rape thing worked out for you" Who thinks this shit up, really?
Wonder if it's operating out of the new "justice center" at Harrison & California. Target audience just kickin' it on every street in that part of the hood.
northwestern "professors" and alumni are douchebags...

Oh. Ask this "MacArthur Foundation" how to go about getting one of their "Genius Grants" -- huge chunks of money, half-millions, millions, so you can run around doing whatever you like.
I did.
No reply.
It be mob bidness.

...and gets a great paycheck for doing it?
This country is literally buckling under the vast, useless, non-productive weight of such people.
...and the poor woman can pay cash for cab fare home from the hospital, and more to have her locks changed until she can pay out more to C. move away.
...and don't bring up the alleged "Victim's Assistance Fund." Don't.

A. Scan this up and email it to the webmaster here.
B. If ANYTHING would cause someone to 1) kill themselves (no humor intended) or 2) move to someplace like Bahrain, this is perfect.
Where did someone say the Supt. is honeymooning this week? >hic< No matter, there will be an altercation in the lobby of some five-star hotel momentarily, along the lines of "Do you know who I am?"
How long, O Lord, how long...
Could be worse. Could be University of Chicago, which - thankfully for police - has decided to dabble with tran$formation efforts in CPS. But the enablers and apologists at UIC are pretty bad too. If this survey generates lots of results, maybe CPD will have a bunch of "thought partners" sniffing around and offering advice in a few years. And making nice bank while doing so.

The old lady who is still all bandaged up and is afraid to answer the door doesn't figure.
She'll get all her ID replaced over the next few months, if the weather isn't too bad...
A bus, then a bus, then another bus...
Everyone should call their number 312 914-5029, and ask how we get to take the survey for a quick $80 too.
Great responses. I think I will do the survey, basically I perceive crime to be on the rise and I perceive we need more police.
How much tax money is being wasted here? I know we don't pay for it harhar, another drop into oblivion!
I wouldn't let a stranger interview at my home for 40 bucks...random people in my home or nice neighborhood no thanks
