Threats as a separate IUCR type

Intimidation on the CPD extract is the primary type assigned when the report was written that way. Assault covers other threat-or-attempt codes; stalking is a course-of-conduct type; battery is contact. Witness intimidation and similar language, when present, live on the row as IUCR code or description. This page does not invent those subtotals. The headline is 282 rows labeled Intimidation.

A threat can also be filed under Other Offense depending on the code. Do not add residual types to 282 without disclosure. Keep CPD's primary type.

Witness-intimidation language, when present on a row, is CPD's wording inside the 282 reports among 410,083 city incidents. This packet has no witness subtotal. Filter the overlay. Do not add assault or stalking to 282 without disclosure.

Cite 282 among 410,083 Chicago incidents. Assault, stalking, and battery remain separate hubs. Residual threat codes under Other Offense are not automatically intimidation. LocalCrimeVault does not harvest those residuals onto this page.

Share of the Chicago extract

Among 410,083 indexed city incidents, 282 intimidation rows are a small share. Small share on a police extract is not a victimization-survey finding; those surveys are not packet facts. The open-data number is 282 CPD rows in this harvest.

Maps use block-level geography and official community area names. Pins must not be treated as identifying a witness or a household.

Threats can also be filed under residual IUCR types. LocalCrimeVault does not harvest those residuals onto this hub. Keep 282 attached to primary type Intimidation.

Witness-protection and protective-order files are different systems. Quote 282 as police reports. Block-level maps must not identify a witness. Official community area names are the 77 areas. An arrest flag is not a conviction. This page does not describe individual cases.

Reading the intimidation table

Filter the 282 rows by date and community area. Arrest flags are not convictions. Missing geography stays blank. LocalCrimeVault does not impute a community area or a name.

This narrative stays aggregate. Graphic or identifying detail is not added. The legitimate use of the table is report volume and official geography.

Court protective orders are a different system. Quote 282 as police reports. Block-level maps must not identify a witness. Official community area names are the 77 areas. An arrest flag is not a conviction. This page does not describe individual cases.

What 282 is not

It is not a court witness-protection caseload, not an order-of-protection count, and not a conviction tally. Quote 282 as IUCR primary type Intimidation among 410,083 Chicago incidents.

CPD and the City of Chicago publish the incidents. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Chicago hub placement

The intimidation type hub holds the live table. The Chicago hub places these 282 rows beside assault, stalking, and the rest of the IUCR mix so threat-related labels stay distinct. A cross-city page follows other agencies' intimidation statutes, which may not match Illinois IUCR.

Cite 282 as Chicago Police Department incident rows with IUCR primary type Intimidation among 410,083 city reports. Keep assault, stalking, and battery on their own hubs. Witness-intimidation language, when present, lives on IUCR codes. This packet has one total.

Residual threat codes can also sit under Other Offense. Do not add those rows to 282 without disclosure. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges to match a reader's preferred threat label.

Citing intimidation without merging assault or stalking

Orders of protection and witness-protection caseloads are different systems. Quote 282 as the open-data primary type. This page does not describe individual cases.

Maps must stay coarse. Block-level ranges and official community area names (77 areas) are not identifications of witnesses. Record the harvest. An arrest flag is not a conviction. The overlay table is for aggregate date and area.

Cite 282 with the 410,083 city denominator. Threat-related IUCR types stay on their own hubs unless a researcher discloses a custom mix. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges or identify witnesses on the map.
