History

Historical Context

Chicago's gun violence crisis intensified in 2012, with over 500 homicides reported, 80% involving firearms. This surge followed a decline in crime rates during the 2000s and a spike in gang-related violence, which accounted for 32% of homicides in 2011. The ongoing violence underscores the urgent need for effective interventions in a city grappling with deep-rooted socio-economic issues.
