Last year's murder rate was the lowest in Chicago since 1965. The current figures released by the Chicago Police Department indicate that the murder rate in 2011 may be even lower than last year. There have been 17 fewer murders so far this year than during the same period of time in 2010. This represents a decline of 14.2 percent from 2010. In addition, Aggravated Batteries were down 17.8 percent, Aggravated Assaults declined by about the same percentage and Robberies and Sexual Assaults also decreased sharply. All property crimes were lower, except for vehicle thefts which actually increased by 20 percent.

A criminal defense lawyer is a lawyer specializing in the defense of individuals and companies charged with criminal conduct. Criminal defense lawyers can be permanently employed by the various jurisdictions with criminal courts. Such lawyers are often called public defenders.
With any defense, you do need help; it is not something that can be treating carelessly. Choosing your Criminal Defense attorney based on their specific area of law could be the way to go. The faster criminal defense attorney can act in your defense the better for the possible outcome.
Good to know about the decline rate of crime. Hope it continues in future as well.
