Obscenity reports in Chicago

Chicago Police Department records in this index include 91 incidents coded as Obscenity among 410,083 Chicago reports. Obscenity is the smallest IUCR primary type in this LocalCrimeVault type set. The 91 figure counts public incident rows as CPD labeled them, not convictions, not unique people, and not a platform-moderation total. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify CPD charges and does not reproduce alleged content.

Key figures

  • 91 Chicago incidents are coded Obscenity in an index of 410,083 city reports.
  • Obscenity is a separate IUCR type from Sex Offense.
  • Counts are police reports, not convictions or content-moderation totals.
  • LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify CPD charges or reproduce alleged content.

A small IUCR statute group

Obscenity on the CPD extract is the primary type assigned when the report was written that way. Related conduct can also be filed under Sex Offense or other types depending on the code. This page does not add those types together. The headline is 91 rows labeled Obscenity.

Because 91 is a small count inside 410,083 city incidents, a handful of recodes can move the total. Cite the harvest as indexed. Do not treat 91 as a stable annual official statistic published by CPD in a yearbook; it is the open-data primary-type count in this extract.

Sex Offense remains a separate hub. The 91 obscenity rows among 410,083 city incidents are a narrow statute group. Do not merge the types. This page does not reproduce alleged content.

Share of the Chicago extract

Ninety-one rows are a tiny slice of 410,083 indexed Chicago reports. The type still has a hub so rare IUCR labels remain findable. Official community area names are the city's 77 areas. Maps use block-level geography and must not be treated as identifying a household.

Small counts should not be turned into neighborhood rankings. A difference of a few reports is noise for that purpose.

Small counts are unstable. A few recodes can move 91. Cite the harvest. Do not build a community-area ranking from 91 city-wide rows. Official community area names are the 77-area list.

Platform takedowns and FCC actions are not CPD incident rows. Official community area names are the 77 areas. Do not rank neighborhoods on 91 city-wide rows. Block-level maps are not household identifications. An arrest flag is not a conviction. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Reading the obscenity table

Filter the 91 rows by date and community area. Description fields, if present, are CPD's. This narrative will not quote alleged content. Arrest flags are not convictions. Missing geography stays blank. LocalCrimeVault does not impute a community area.

Respectful use is aggregate report volume. The table is a public record of how CPD labeled 91 incidents, not a gallery of materials.

Platform takedown statistics and FCC actions are not police-incident rows. Quote 91 as CPD IUCR primary type Obscenity. Block-level maps are not household identifications. An arrest flag is not a conviction. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

What 91 is not

It is not an FCC or platform takedown count, not a library-challenge tally, and not a court caseload. Quote 91 as IUCR primary type Obscenity among 410,083 Chicago incidents.

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

Chicago hub placement

The obscenity type hub holds the live table. The Chicago hub places these 91 rows beside Sex Offense and the rest of the IUCR mix so the labels stay distinct. A cross-city page follows other agencies' obscenity statutes, which may be rare or absent on their public feeds.

Cite 91 as Chicago Police Department incident rows with IUCR primary type Obscenity among 410,083 city reports. Keep Sex Offense on its own hub. This page does not reproduce alleged content. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Because 91 is a small count, a handful of recodes can move the total. Cite the harvest. Do not treat 91 as a sealed annual yearbook cell. Do not rank community areas on 91 city-wide rows.

Citing a rare statute group without reproducing content

FCC, platform-moderation, and library-challenge tallies are different systems. They are not this 91. Quote the open-data primary type if that is your question. An arrest flag is not a conviction.

Maps must stay coarse. Block-level ranges and official community area names (77 areas) are not household identifications. Record the 91 / 410,083 pair. The overlay table is for aggregate date and area, not a gallery of materials.

Cite 91 with the 410,083 city denominator. Rare IUCR types still need a precise label. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify these charges or reproduce alleged content on this page.
