Chicago Is Far Less Violent Than Before | Black Blue Dog:
"After a year, in which Chicago led the nation in homicides topping 500 for 2012, officials in the city are saying that the murder rate fell to its lowest levels since 1972.The Chicago Police Department is reporting a 16% decline in crime for 2013, including violent crimes, robberies, and aggravated battery.
This is a precipitous drop considering 2013 didn’t start good in Chicagoland with 40 homicides in January alone.
But afterwards and by the end of the year the city had recorded 415 homicides, 88 fewer than in 2012 and 20 fewer than in 2011."
