Public Peace Violation reports in Chicago

Public-order reports, not a violence series

Public Peace Violation is a public-order bucket on the CPD feed. Reckless conduct, disorderly-type events, and similar IUCR codes can land here when CPD assigns this primary type. It is not battery, not assault, and not riot as a separate headline: those are other labels or other systems. The 1,806 count is only this primary type.

Enforcement discretion is high for public-order codes. Volume can move when officers write more or fewer of these reports. That is a reason not to treat 1,806 as a street-violence trend. It is report volume for one IUCR type among 410,083 Chicago incidents.

Reckless-conduct and disorderly-type codes, when CPD assigned this primary type, sit inside 1,806 among 410,083 city incidents (about 0.4 percent). This page does not publish those code subtotals. Filter the overlay and keep CPD's wording.

Cite 1,806 with the 410,083 city denominator (about 0.4 percent). Public-order writing is discretionary. A quiet week of 311 calls can still produce IUCR rows if officers write them, and a loud weekend can produce few if they do not. Read the 1,806 as report volume in this harvest.

Share of the city extract

At about 0.4 percent of 410,083 indexed reports, public peace violation is a small slice next to theft or battery. Small share still belongs on a complete type list so residual public-order activity is not invisible. Official community area names on the rows are the city's 77 areas.

Downtown and event-heavy community areas can show more of these reports because that is where officers and callers meet. The map is report geography, not a character ranking of residents.

Event deployments can raise public-order writing without a change in a victimization survey. Read 1,806 as report volume. Official community area names are the 77-area list. Downtown clusters are where officers and callers met, not a ranking of residents.

Do not fold 1,806 into battery or assault. Those hubs exist for those labels. Official community area names are the 77-area list. Block-level pins are not identifications of people. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify CPD charges.

Reading the table

Filter the 1,806 rows by date and community area. Description and IUCR code show how CPD wrote the event. Arrest flags are not convictions. Block-level pins are not named persons. LocalCrimeVault does not impute missing geography.

Do not upgrade a public peace row into assault or battery. If CPD had filed those types, the row would sit on those hubs. This site keeps the published primary type.

Municipal ordinance tickets can exist without an IUCR incident row. Circuit-court cases can exist without updating the open-data extract. Quote 1,806 as CPD primary type Public Peace Violation. An arrest flag is not a conviction. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Reports versus ordinance and court data

Municipal ordinance tickets and circuit-court cases are not this 1,806 total. Some public-order events never become IUCR incident rows; some incident rows never become convictions. Quote the open-data primary type if that is your question.

CPD and the City of Chicago publish the incidents. LocalCrimeVault indexes them without reclassifying charges.

Chicago hub placement

The public peace violation type hub holds the live table. The Chicago hub places these 1,806 rows beside the rest of the 410,083-incident mix so the 0.4 percent share is visible. A cross-city page follows other agencies' disorderly-conduct labels, which may not match IUCR.

Cite 1,806 as Chicago Police Department incident rows with IUCR primary type Public Peace Violation among 410,083 city reports (about 0.4 percent). Say that the type is public-order. It is not battery and not assault. LocalCrimeVault does not upgrade these rows into person-crime types.

Disorderly-type and reckless-conduct codes, when present, live on the table. This packet has one total. Enforcement discretion is high: volume can move when officers write more or fewer of these reports. Read 1,806 as report volume, not as a survey of disorder.

Citing public-order reports as a distinct type

Ordinance tickets and circuit-court public-order cases are not this 1,806. Some events never become IUCR rows; some rows never become convictions. Quote the open-data primary type if that is your question.

Downtown and event-heavy community areas can show more of these reports because that is where officers and callers meet. Official community area names are the city's 77 areas. The map is report geography, not a character ranking of residents. Record the 1,806 / 410,083 harvest pair.
