Decline of Gun Violence in Chicago

This chapter examines the recent decrease in gun violence in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood, focusing on the Chicago Cred initiative's role in violence interruption. It discusses the broader trends in homicide rates across America, contrasting declines in violent crime with rises in property crimes, particularly post-pandemic. The chapter also considers the implications of these trends for political discussions on crime and policing, highlighting the potential for relief among Democrats as crime rates continue to fall.
