That's a great site. The pull data from a site that is much harder to use.
So many people don't even know about it. I've suggested it to several people who were looking to buy condos, and changed their mind about certain areas after seeing all the crime around it.

That is on the south side by the Ida B. Wells housing projects. Read in the paper this morning they just arrested like 60 gang members there yesterday for a pretty large scale drug operation.
It's interesting to pull up different areas of the city where crime is really bad.

most people that are murdered know their assailant. so why would buying a condo near them put you at risk?

mrb, I'm not talking about murder.
I mean crime in general. Some people were looking in areas they heard were safe, then find out there's way more theft, gang activity, assault, etc. in the area they were looking in.

Cause if you live next to them, you might get to KNOW them.

look at the frequency of time when they were killed. Most during the late PM to early AM.
Give me an X-Y graph with the z-vector being a GUN!!

what was that quote from the book?
Something like:
You have a better chance of being killed standing on a corner in a bad Chicago neighborhood than you do in Texas on Death Row.

I like "Deceptive Practice - Bogus Check."
Just seems like they would have used a different word than bogus.

the mob
http://www.chicagocrime.org/type…(well, maybe not THE mob)
- slinky0
correct me if i am wrong, but isnt Bogus an actual word used in describing crimes as such?
- mg330
Yah, but you can't help but think of Spicoli when you see it.
