For all the Public School kids who have trouble with reading comprehension;

 

The city feeds the media and the public homicide numbers that do not include Justifiable Homicides. Example here- Police fatally shoot man who pointed gun at them We do, after all an outcome of a homicide does not change depending on who kills you.

 

The city will count a double homicide as 1 homicide. Example here- 2 men shot dead, woman shot in Burnside . We count 2.

 

The city will classify obvious homicides as "Death Investigation" and not close the case until the following year, when the city's homicide rate is no longer front page news. Example here- Body found in burning Brighton Park garage

  Finally we obtain our numbers directly form the Chicago Police Department website- http://gis.chicagopolice.org/ We stand by our numbers. Now go ask the CPD and REDEYE to explain their numbers and this.....

 

Oh... and here's some examples of your wonderful News Media you choose to believe- In Chicago the News Media is a Crime
