According to the report, the Peacekeepers program led to a 41 percent drop in victimizations within violence hotspots — areas with disproportionately high levels of shootings and victimizations — during that 24-month period compared to the two years prior. That same report found a 31 percent decrease in the number of shootings across the Peacekeepers’ entire community areas during that same period.
When calls for police assistance go unanswered, there will be a drop in reported crimes.
That’s a no-brainer.
Credit for the “drop” in crime is more likely due to fewer police available to respond, not the “violence interruptors.”

Could it be that the drop in hotspots was due to the fact that thugs have widen their target areas? There were no “peacekeepers” on the street when a young man was shot and killed the other night in Lincoln Park by alleged package-thieves.
