I think someone else suggested that having information on where these perpetrators/accused perpetrators live would be valuable to understand -- are we being victimized by locals, or by folks from the South or West Side or Rogers Park? Do the case reports contain information on the accused's most recent address (like the Chicago Tribune story reports)?
ReplyDeletePerhaps not providing address information for *accused* perps is reasonable, but after they are convicted (or plead guilty) does it make sense to share, or does it unnecessarily inflame the community? Does CWB have a perspective on this?
Addresses of the accused are not readily available in court records. At least, not that we know of.
DeleteWhen a Officer stops some of the individuals who are lurking on the side streets and finds out that they have robbery in their backgrounds. Many Officers tell these individuals to leave the area, and to stay away or they will be stopped many times. This puts your Officers in a bind as then the jerks robbing your neighbors and you complain about Officers "harassing" them. This city has really dug itself a deep hole and right now there is no visible way out. Please stay safe, and remember most of your Officers are good people and hard workers, back them up, talk to them, ask them questions if you need to get a better understanding of things.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is an extremely safe bet that the perpetrators are overwhelmingly not locals, though I am sure some of them have addresses at one of the shelters in the neighborhood or in Uptown.
ReplyDeleteYou should be able to get addresses from arrest reports or criminal complaints, both of which should be contained in the court's common law record or case file.
ReplyDeleteThank you, anonymous. Pulling the physical files is t-e-d-i-o-u-s. We'll ask our expert if there is a way to get the info via the court system's 1970's-era computer system. That ain't hyperbole, by the way.
DeleteCWB - that is most DEFINITELY not hyperbole. I can attest as an attorney that the state courtrooms - I kid you not - overwhelmingly still use carbon paper copies of orders. Carbon. Paper. Copies.
DeleteSomebody's relative probably owns the company that still produces the forms.
DeleteMight I ask where the 12% number comes from? Is it possible that some of these robberies that went unsolved were part of a larger pattern that was taken care of with an arrest on one of the cases? (IE if one guy robs 10 different people but gets caught on the last one only, the guy then confesses to all 10 in exchange for only bring sentenced on one) just thinking outside the box here
ReplyDeleteThe story states that charges were brought in only 12% of robberies here last year. That's a fact. Even in your scenario, the offender only got charged once, so he got away with it 9 times.
