Illinois Governor spins Chicago crime stats
There’s no denying Gov. J.B. Pritzker should be one of the state’s biggest cheerleaders, consistently accentuating Illinois’ positives. It’s what any good governor should do.
But the governor too often corrupts his message with dishonest spin and, in the process, buries the real day-to-day struggles ordinary Illinoisans face.
The governor was at it again when he spoke to Crain’s recently and said that “violent crime in the City of Chicago…has been coming down for three years, in particular, over the last year.” He even encouraged residents to “track it for themselves” by “looking at the statistics that the CPD publishes.”
Wirepoints did. And the data shows the exact opposite of his claim. Yes, homicides and shootings are down. But those aren’t the only violent crimes Chicagoans suffer.
There are four violent crimes found in the CPD Compstat report: murder, criminal sexual assault, robbery and aggravated battery.
Add those crimes up as of YTD, November 26, and you’ll find that, collectively, violent crimes are growing. They’re actually up by nearly 20 percent compared to 2019 and 14 percent over last year.
