Chicagoans suffer decade-high robberies, record-low arrest rate – Illinois Policy

Those 11,060 robberies involved 11,933 victims last year, with some crimes having several victims. That’s more than 1 robbery victim for every 250 people living in the nation’s third-largest city. Robberies with a handgun increased by half. Robberies committed with other firearms more than doubled. Only cases of vehicular hijackings and unarmed robbery showed declines.
