Chicago and Violence Why is this what the city is known for?

How do we compare?

How do we compare According to the data presented by FBI Crime Reports Chicago is ranked #4 in homicides. Why don’t we hear more about Detroit? D.C.? New Orleans? Turn and Talk? What do you think drives the conversation here in Chicago?

How do we compare Certain neighborhoods: Englewood and North Lawndale see murder rates at or above those of Detroit, D.C. and New Orleans. Roseland is also higher but closer to the Chicago city average.

The History: Why we view Chicago this way As early as the 1840’s Chicago became known for it’s “criminal underworld” it was “getting to be a notorious fact that robbers, pickpockets, thimble riggers [literally, those who played the three-shell game, but more broadly any who used sly tricks to cheat], &c., &c., are perfectly at home in our city.” ~ The Democrat (1840’s newspaper)

History of Chicago and Violence Chicago was viewed in such a negative light that the Fire of 1871 was believed to be a punishment from God. Chicago “makes a more amazingly open display of evil than any other city known to me,” a visitor from London exclaimed. “Other places hide their blackness out of sight; Chicago treasures it in the heart of the business quarter and gives it a veneer.”

Violence in Chicago Before Al Capone and the Italian Mob Chicago was already well known for it’s violence. The rise of gangsterism in increased the public perception of Chicago Violence. Many agree that the “myth” of violence in Chicago was always much worse than the actual numbers, even in the 1920’s and 1930’s.

How we got to where we are Segregation of neighborhoods Crash of industrial jobs Steel mills Meat Packing Manuafacturing Huge increase in poverty especially within minority communities

How we got to where we are Increase in youth violence linked to gang violence and the drug trade. During mass circulation of crack and cocaine, youth made up 20% of victims of homicide. Gangs have been an issue in Chicago for more than 100 years

Why do we see this difference?

Cause of Violence Homework for Wednesday: Research either gang history, rise and cause of poverty, or neighborhood history. Come to class Wednesday with 1-2 articles discussing the history of Chicago focusing on one of these three topics.
