WILD WEST: Chicago arrest rate collapses to 5 Percent :: 02/10/2023

The arrest numbers for Chicago suggest that those committing serious crimes face only a one in twenty chance of getting caught. Factor in a Soros-funded state’s attorney that drops about a third of cases police present to her and, well, the number of criminals suffering consequences is nil.

Wirepoints has the numbers and they aren’t pretty:

Chicago’s shockingly low arrest rates for most crimes continue to give lawbreakers a green light to carry on. Fresh, end-of-year City of Chicago data for 2022 reveal that arrests were made for only 5 percent of offenses in Chicago’s major crime categories. That compares to 10 percent in 2019. The information comes from the city’s crime data portal covering murders, sexual assaults, aggravated battery, robberies, burglaries, thefts, and motor vehicle thefts.

Expect arrest rates to stay at rock-bottom levels and the green light for crime to stay lit until crucial improvements occur in Chicago’s policing management.

Arrest rates varied by the type of “major crime,” based on the seven categories that cities have for decades reported to the FBI. Chicago’s homicide arrest rate was 28 percent in 2022, lower than the reported 33 percent in 2021, 41 percent in 2020, and 36 percent in 2019.

With a 5% clearance rate of major crimes, it’s only a matter of time until victims and their families opt to administer street justice instead of calling the police and waiting for an officer to show up and maybe take a report.
