Liquor Law Violation reports in Chicago

Alcohol-statute reports on the incident feed

Liquor Law Violation is a regulatory IUCR type. It is not DUI as a driving offense (that may sit under other codes or other datasets) and not a bar-fight battery (Battery is a separate primary type). The 332 count is only this primary type. Underlying IUCR codes, when present on the table, show the specific allegation CPD published.

Enforcement sweeps and licensed-premise checks can generate clusters of rows. That is expected for a statute group tied to inspections. This packet does not include an inspection count, so none is quoted.

Underage possession, unlicensed sale, and related codes can share the 332 rows among 410,083 city incidents. This page does not publish those subtotals. Filter IUCR codes on the overlay. DUI, if filed under other codes or datasets, is not automatically 332.

Cite 332 among 410,083 Chicago incidents. DUI may sit under other codes or other datasets. Business Affairs hearings are not 332. Filter IUCR codes on the overlay for underage versus unlicensed-sale language if CPD wrote it.

Share of the Chicago extract

Among 410,083 indexed city incidents, 332 liquor-law rows are a small share. Official community area names are the city's 77 areas. Maps often follow nightlife and commercial blocks because that is where these reports are written, not because every resident there violated a liquor statute.

Block-level pins are not a named tavern's disciplinary file. They are CPD incident geography as published.

Business Affairs hearings can sanction a license without creating an IUCR row, and an IUCR row can exist without a hearing. Quote 332 as CPD incident volume. LocalCrimeVault does not merge license files.

Nightlife blocks can show more of these reports because that is where the statute is enforced. Official community area names are the 77-area list. Pins are not a tavern disciplinary file. An arrest flag is not a conviction. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Reading the table
