Chicago’s crime rate is higher than the similar rates in the most other cities in the United States. We thoroughly monitor crime chronicles and police activities in Chicago and other cities of the state. Our journalists constantly monitor Chicago il crime map data, official websites and pages of the state police departments to keep readers updated on the latest news.
Crime reports let you know about the criminal situation in the are. This way, you can find out the information about activities of gangs, cases of violence with the use of firearms, robberies, high-profile detentions and lawsuits related to murders and drug trafficking.
In our work with the criminal chronicle, we focus on judicial decisions made in our state for criminal offenses. We believe that just punishment for committed crimes is the main aspect that the media should demonstrate. Perhaps, this is what will help prevent people committing a crime.
To keep this information up to date, we monitor the activities of prosecutorial offices and courts in North, South, and Central Illinois.
Describing the work of the police, we focus on the courage of law workers, their dedication to their work and their desire to support safety on the streets of Chicago, Springfield, Peoria, Naperville, Aurora, Rockford and other localities – from large cities to small villages.
The editors of Chicago Morning Star are confident that widespread coverage of law enforcement can help residents protect themselves in dangerous situations and reduce crime in all locations in the state.
