Stateline: CHICAGO—This city’s overall crime rate has declined in the past year, but the police need help from the Illinois legislature to prevent crime from happening in the first place, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told the annual meeting of the National Criminal Justice Association.
“This year, 82 less people were murdered than last year in Chicago, and there are 400 less people with bullet holes this year than there were last year,” McCarthy said. “But Chicago has an unacceptable level of gun violence. We need legislation to fix this problem.”
