A tale of two cities: Why have 殺人s 急に上がるd in Chicago and 急落するd in New York City? Opinion divides between gentrification, police 策略, gun 法律s and political 干渉

• e-mail

Last month, New York City 市長 法案 de Blasio celebrated the city having it's 'safest October' since the NYPD started digitally 跡をつけるing 罪，犯罪 統計（学） in the 早期に 1990s.

It couldn't be more of a different story in Chicago, where 18 people were killed in a 選び出す／独身 週末 last month.?

Chi-Town is 現在／一般に going through one of its most dangerous periods, and has already 記録，記録的な／記録するd 625 殺人s this year as of Monday. That's already more 殺人s than every year since 2002.

一方／合間, New York, a city that has more than three times the 全住民 of Chicago, has only experienced 286 殺人s this year. ?

The startling difference between the two cities has been pegged on a variety of 問題／発行するs from politics to the ghettoization of the poor.

While the 殺人 率 has seen a 激烈な 増加する in Chicago, New York just keeps getting safer

Rahm Emanuel?

Chicago's police department has been 疫病／悩ますd by political スキャンダルs that may be discouraging officers from doing their 職業s, the city's former Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told the New York 地位，任命する.?

Last year, McCarthy - a former New York City 警官，（賞などを）獲得する - was 解雇する／砲火／射撃d after one of his 警官，（賞などを）獲得するs 発射 an 非武装の teen.

He says public blowback from 出来事/事件s like this have left 警官，（賞などを）獲得するs 'hamstrung'?

'They’re not getting out of their cars and stopping people. That’s because of all the politics here,' McCarthy said. 'In Chicago, 業績／成果 is いっそう少なく important than politics. It’s called "The Chicago Way," and the results are horrific.'?

Some point 直接／まっすぐに to 市長 Rahm Emanuel for the political 問題／発行するs with the police 軍隊.??

'The 長，指導者 警官 in any city serves at the 楽しみ of the 市長, so the 市長 in 影響 始める，決めるs the 協議事項 for the way in which 法律 施行’s activities will be 行為／行うd,' James Pasc o, (n)役員／(a)執行力のある director of the 国家の Fraternal Order of Police union, said.?

He continued: 'Emanuel has chosen to 干渉する police department 政策s and 手続きs, and the results are also obvious. There’s been a total politicization of the Chicago Police Department’s approach to public safety.'

Some have 非難するd Chicago's 市長 Rahm Emanuel for '干渉' in police 手続きs

未解決の 殺人s?

If a 殺人 goes 未解決の, that gives the 殺し屋 the 適切な時期 to kill again and it can 奮起させる others to kill because they think they can get away with the 罪，犯罪.?

Chicago 探偵，刑事s lag far behind the 国家の 普通の／平均（する） in solving 殺人s, and even その上の behind the New York City 普通の／平均（する）.?

Last year, Chicago 探偵，刑事s solved just 46 per cent of 殺人s compared to the 63 per cent 国家の 普通の／平均（する） and the 68 per cent New York City 普通の／平均（する）.?

This year has been even worse, によれば a September 報告（する）／憶測 in the Chicago Tribune.?The 報告（する）／憶測 設立する that just 30 per cent of open 殺人s were solved this year, and that the 人物／姿／数字 減少（する）s to just 21 per cent when old 事例／患者s are taken into account. ?

That could be because just eight per cent of Chicago officers are 探偵，刑事s, compared to 15 per cent of NYPD officers.?

平易な 接近 to guns?

Chicago is also 'much more porous to guns' than New York, Democratic political 顧問 Hank Sheinkopf said.?

Sheinkopf said that there's a 'direct pipeline' from Mississippi up to Chicago that 供給（する）s 犯罪のs with 違法な 武器s.?

While 違法な 武器s do find their way to New York City 同様に, the city has also 行為／行うd several successful 武器s 破産した／（警察が）手入れするs in 最近の years.?

T here's also the 問題／発行する of 合法的な 武器s. In Chicago, 国民s can have 隠すd carry licenses, 反して New York City 居住（者）s are not 許すd to carry guns in public - no 事柄 if they are 合法的に owned and licensed.?

Destitute 近隣s?

Another major difference between the two cities is in their poorer 近隣s - where the 大多数 of 殺人s happen.?

In New York City, the most desperate areas are in 住宅 事業／計画（する）s, 比較して small communities spread throughout the five boroughs.?

But in Chicago, the city's poor 近隣s （問題を）取り上げる large 列s of land to the south and west of the city.?

Many families have been stuck in these communities for 世代s, and with little hope of extricating themselves - some turn to 罪，犯罪.?

'Chicago’s problem wasn’t a day in the making - it’s 60 years in the making,' Loyola University psychology professor Arthur Lurigio said. 'Working at the 刑務所，拘置所 as a staff psychologist, I’ve seen two, maybe three 世代s pass through.'

Chicago's poorest communities are much larger and wide-spread than New York's. Above, a 見解（をとる） of a 罪，犯罪 scene on the south 味方する of Chicago, where six people were killed, in February 2016

Superior policing in New York City?

One NYPD 公式の／役人 who spoke with the 地位，任命する credited the low 殺人 率 in the city with 的d foot patrols for 警官，（賞などを）獲得するs.?

?'Most cities only place foot 地位，任命するs in 商売／仕事 地区s. We put our foot 地位，任命するs in the most violent areas of the city, 同様に as our 商売／仕事 地区,' the source said.

'It’s not a fun assignment, but it’s 批判的な to keeping people 安全な.'?

And it appears that the Chicago police know there is something they can learn from New York 警官，（賞などを）獲得するs.?

In October, NYPD 副 Commissioner of 操作／手術s Dermot Shea and 長，指導者 of Patrol Terence Monahan traveled to Chicago for a one day 首脳会議 to 株 cr ime-fighting tips.?

She said that they talked about 'how we've reviewed and managed 事例／患者s to have the greatest 衝撃 on 暴力／激しさ in NYC. And at the same time, Terry was there 述べるing what we've been doing on the 近隣-policing 味方する.'?

He 追加するd: 'These things complement each other'. ??

An NYPD 公式の／役人 says one of the 推論する／理由s for the low 殺人 率 is their 的d approach to foot patrols. Above, an office guards an area of Fifth Avenue 近づく Trump Tower on November 11, 2016
