Chicago has a reputation for being a rough city. Most would think that the city is one of the most dangerous cities in the United States. Some would say that it is more violent compared to Los Angeles and New York. Some are claiming that 12 individuals are shot in the city every single day. However, most of these are not justified. Actual data shows that violent crimes are less in Chicago. There are other cities more violent, like Baltimore and New Orleans. Chicago is not even on the top list of the most violent cities in America. Based on the data about homicide rates per 100,000 residents in main cities of America. However, we cannot ignore that Chicago is not the safest city to live in America. Some are safer including less crowded and smaller towns. The city, on the other side, knows its crime data which it tries to address. Of course, the actual numbers will not lie. It is up to the city’s leadership to pay attention to making Chicago a safer city to live and settle. Chicago has a percentage of crimes on its hands, and better peace and order can help lessen the numbers.
