Chicago is plagued by crime in recent times. The number of murders in the city soared in the year 2020, after a decrease in violence over the previous three years. It was reported that the Windy City recorded nearly 770 deaths in 2020, an increase of 50% over the year of 2019. The year before the city set the record of 25 years by surpassing 800 murders according to The Chicago Tribune reported.

The same pattern has occurred with shootings beginning in 2020. There were 2151 shots in the year 2019, and that number grew to 3,200 in 2020. There were also 361 shooting incidents were reported in 2021.

As of now the number of shootings and deaths in the first quarter of 2022 are at a low of 17 percent and 10 percent in the first half of 2022, respectively. But the city is not close to breaking the 600-homicide mark at the close of the year. WTTW announced this month.

The decrease in arrests came from sweeping changes made to the manner in which police officers from the Chicago P.D. conducts its patrols, including the restriction of their vehicle pursuit policy stopping foot pursuits if someone is chasing the police or is found guilty of a minor crime. Police were also instructed to not make arrests for offences like possessing tiny amounts of marijuana, according to the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

“We must only be able to help one another at the lowest rank,” the officer said. “And If that means going out in the open and not doing any thing, then it’s doing nothing and doing nothing.”

The President of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7 John Catanzara, attributed police being unable to stop them for a variety of different motives, including the coronavirus and police becoming more scrutinized and that an arrest is not worth the risk or they could end up being a popular news subject and villain, as per the Sun-Times.

The increase in crime in Chicago in the year 2020 is part of an overall trend in the United States that shows murders rising by 30 percent in the year 2020 as compared to the year prior, which is the biggest single-year increase in murders since the FBI began tracking crimes, according to FBI statistics.

Experts in the field of crime who spoke previously with Fox News Digital have pointed at the defunding of police movements as well as the coronavirus pandemic, and the subsequent lockdowns that threw off society, as well as the Ferguson impact.

“Certainly protests and riots that took place in the middle of 2020 following the passing of George Floyd followed a pattern of violent outbursts that has been observed in the past following shocking police incidents including death of Michael Brown and Freddie Gray. This pattern is known as the “Ferguson Effect,” where police are able to reduce their presence and violent crime rises dramatically,” Hannah Meyers, director of the public safety and policing program within Manhattan Institute, Manhattan Institute, told Fox News Digital earlier this year.

“What does emerge is that context is important and the context for the decline in the number of arrests and activities by police,” crime researcher Deepak Premkumar said to the media outlet. “When there’s a major media occasion, the public scrutiny is increased, and [police] activity decreases.”

“There are a myriad of factors associated with the pandemic which could have caused police to reduce their presence and increase the rate of crime,” Premkumar says. “But it’s possible that the killing of George Floyd, the highest-profile police killing ever in U.S. history, played an important role in the rise in the rate of crime.”

As the police are reducing their presence in the city The department has faced staffing problems. Chicago P.D. had the lowest percentage of employees in March this year, after more than 300 employees left or left the department, and more than twelve more were sacked.
