Chicago, Illinois Crime Analysis

If we look at the stats the most of domestic terror attacks are in gun free zones. Why? Well, a lion will chase and kill a deer that’s not a threat. a lion choice to avoid porcupines due to their defense mechanism. Moral of that is a predator thinks twice if the pray is armed. Chicago is one of the largest cities in the U.S. and also some of the most stick gun laws. I bring this up because Chicago is the murder capital of the U.S. currently and I blame it on the harsh gun laws. It is so hard for innocent people there to own fire arms for protect. This means that they need to call the police. Well it takes the

This year’s shootings has climbed by twenty percent from 2013, there have been nearly one hundred homicides involving guns so far this year. This is an upsurge from sixty nine during the same period in both 2013 and 2014.In. In New York city officials have blamed the upsurge of homicides on deadly conflicts between career criminals and blamed gang activity in Brooklyn and the Bronx. On the other hand what’s been happening in Baltimore is different. The number of homicides has doubled while shootings has climbed more than eighty percent, and the vast majority of experts say that it is at partially connected to a averseness by police officers to aggressively do their jobs. (Sanburn, 2015)During the year of 2013 the population in New York, NY was 8,396,126 and they had 335 reported homicides, while Baltimore, MD had a population of 622,671 people and 233 reported.

According to the FBI Unified Crime Report for 2009, there were 385 murders in that year. The total population for Detroit in 2009 was just over 951,000. (The Neighborhood Scout, 2009) In Minneapolis, a city with about one-half the population of Detroit, the number of murders was 47. Not only is the population less than Detroit, the murder rate 6 times lower than Detroit. Here you can see that population seems to play a role in the amount of murders for these metropolitan areas. The area that had the most reported incidents of murder was Detroit. Minneapolis has shown that they have seen a 17% decrease in violent crimes over the past 3 years.

Detroit tops Forbes list of the Most Dangerous Cities this year for the fifth year in a row. What is encouraging is the violent crime rate in the Motor City actually declined last year, despite crushing financial woes that drove Detroit into the biggest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. Crime affects the people of Detroit and the city’s reputation, employment, income and education. It should be stopped to make Detroit prosper and make the lives of the people living there better. Detroit had 316 murders in 2013, a rate of 45 per 100,000 people. That 's the highest rate among cities with populations over 100,000. In 2013 Detroit also reported 14,504 violent crimes. That 's also the highest per capita rate in the nation, according to the

When we get into how society and people look at crime, it happens in every city, every neighborhood, people are victims every day, businesses, and even property. Crime dates back since colonization and the rates have varied over time, believe it or not, crime has decreased over the years. As a matter of fact, the United States has been on a decline. The crime rate for the year 2000 was a total of 11,608,072 a declining year in 2015 with a total of 9,225,197. (U.S. Department of Justice)

On January 17, 2017, “Surge in the Violence” was released by the Crime lab at the University of Chicago, which had combined a report on the statistics of homicides taken place in the year 2015 and 2016. The number of homicides taken place in the year of 2016 has soared by record high of 67 percent than the previous year. Chicago is one of the busiest and advanced cities in the world and getting such high numbers in the field of crime is a shame and leaves a bad impression on the rest of the world. The violence related to guns has also increased enormously and according to “Chicago Tribune”, 2,958 people have been shot dead by now this year. Though the data shows that the homicides by gun has decreased significantly but the number is still a problem. The gun violence now is a serious problem and the current situation demands strict gun laws.

In conclusion, in comparing both these big cities Cincinnati is showing an increase in the number of burglaries and almost every other crime as for Dallas, the crime rate there is down 6.4 percent. With the population in Dallas being 1,197,816 and Cincinnati’s population being 296,943 people would think that Dallas would be a city full of crime but Cincinnati is far worse. According to NeighborhoodScout . com, on a scale of 100 to 1(100 is the safest) Cincinnati rates just a two. This scale shows that Cincinnati is just safer then two percent of the cities in the United States of America. There are many factors that could explain why Cincinnati has one of the fasting growing crime rates in the nation. One could be the economy where there is nine percent unemployment in the city alone. Another factor could be the racial and ethnic makeup of the city. Looking at the Dallas, Texas crime rates, it rates a six in the crime index (NeighborhoodScout.com). This means that Dallas, Texas is safer than six percent of the

This project is a focus on how variables such as population, ethnicity, and income affect crime rates throughout different neighborhoods throughout a city. I feel that this information finding this information could be useful to many people. For example if you are looking to buy a new home or even start a new business, you’ll probably want it located in a safe neighborhood. This study will help identify the signs of a safe neighborhood. Knowing why crime rates are higher in some areas may also help prevent the crime rate to rise in other neighborhoods. For example, if crime rates are higher in neighborhoods with

While California is known for its beautiful weather and Silicon Valley culture, it is also known for the high levels of gang violence endemic in the state’s inner cities. Read on to learn which cities in California are the safest and suffer from the least violent crime.

The United States has been a world leader in homicide for centuries. Indeed, “since the early 19th century ...[America has been] the most homicidal country in the Western world” and holds that title today (Kelley, 2009). In a 2007-2008 list of 31 nations, only two nations, Mexico and Chile, had higher homicide rates (Comparison, 2010). Nations with higher populations, such as India and China have fewer homicides (Comparison, 2010). Further, a nation such as Japan, which has a lower population but a higher population density then the United States, has one of the world’s lowest homicide rates (Comparison, 2010). Population size and density, therefore, cannot be the chief reasons for this nation’s higher homicide rates.

Chicago is the third most populated city in America, and in 2014 there were 57,863 crimes reported by the Chicago Police Department. However, this does

From the past research on my topic about lack of police in the community, high crime is the cause of not having enough police in the community. I recently talked about the effects of lack of police and the effect on the community in my recent papers. According to my hypothesis, the lack of police in communities is what I truly believe what makes a difference in crime rates. With that being said, I did social research on what scientist reported to make a claim to support my hypothesis. A research article I found online entitled, “The Effects of Local Police Surges on Crime and Arrests in New York City”, published by John MacDonald, Jeffrey Fagan, and Amanda Geller has enough

Violent Crime - The Violent Crime Rate in St. Louis City is up from last year: 18.26 (violent) to 19%, but overall crimes are down from 81.90 (all) to 78.7% and St. Louis County: violent crimes are up to 3.8%, and all crimes are up to 28.4%. Over the last 10 years, the number of St. Louis violent crime is higher than the U.S. average. Crimes has continued to sky rocketed post Ferguson Uprising. As of 2016, because of the high crime rate in St. Louis City it continues to be labeled as “America’s murder capital” surpassing Detroit and Chicago. St. Louis remains ranked 42nd out of the 50 largest metro areas in the country in economic mobility. That means that it is more difficult for someone here to get from the bottom of the rungs to the top rungs of the economic ladder than it is just about anywhere. When people do not have equal opportunity to thrive, the entire region pays the price therefore the Ferguson Commission has

Murder is a form of violence that does more harm than just destruction of property but leads to a loss of life in the process, and that makes it more severe than other forms of violence that may just end at injuries to people or destruction of property (Staples 2014). The sociological approach to issues of murder in the city highlights how the society or the environment increases the cases of death or reduces them in a case where there are few cases of murder and how the revelation would relatively contribute in mitigating the cases of violence (Pratt and Godsey 2003). The trend in deaths across different cities including Philadelphia is a motivation that results from how the city operations are set and are functioning, the level of security
