An interesting presentation of the statistics, which in themselves are not surprising. The notion of violence inequality has probably begun making itself known via the reporting of shootings. At the end of the day, we are still faced with solving the underlying root causes of the violence. From the article -- Over the last twenty years, at the same time as overall crime has declined, the inequality of violence in Chicago has skyrocketed. The pattern of what’s blue and what’s red in each map is mostly the same; I count only three out of twenty-five districts that switched from one color to another. But the colors are much darker in the 2000s than they were in the 1990s. There have always been safer and more dangerous areas here, as there are everywhere; but the gap between them is way, way bigger now than it used to be.
