The Chicago Police are reporting that the crime rate in Chicago has dropped again. Overall, crime is down 6.9 percent. This is the 16th consecutive year that the crime rate has dropped in Chicago. However, murders and vehicle thefts increased over last year. Murders increased 8 percent from January 1 to April 30 of this year. There have been a total of 127 murders, which is three more than this time last year. The vast majority of murders involved the use of guns. All the more reason that the elimination of guns from the streets will lead to the reduction of crime. Criminal sexual assaults, robberies, arson and aggravated batteries dropped anywhere from 5 to 20 percent.
