It has been showed multiple times in various studies that the perception of crime in Chicago does not meet the reality. Thanks to the outlets like Fox News, a subset of population think of Chicago as very violent place (and some neighborhoods are at times, but most are not).

exactly. To reduce crime in cities facing a public security crisis in the USA (and in any city in the world) it is necessary to arrest and give harsh sentences to criminals and arm the population with good skills to defend themselves

chicago like allll other leftist run cities embrace the 3rd world tribalism that you would see on tv and say

wow,,that will never happen here

Well, look at a crime map and real data. There are sections with really high crime, others with low crime, and some in the middle. You should expect crime rates to be higher in urban areas due to higher population concentration. Overall, Chicago has crime, but on the lower side compared to other urban areas in the US, even considering the recent rise in homicide. You don't believe me? Look up the data.

I used to live in Chicago. I left in 1976. I've thought of returning, but have heard terrible things about crime.
