Sex Offense reports in Chicago

A separate IUCR type from criminal sexual assault

CPD files Sex Offense and Criminal Sexual Assault as two primary types. Combining them into an unofficial total without listing both labels will confuse anyone comparing to CPD's own tables. This page is only the 2,148 Sex Offense rows. The other type has its own hub and its own count (not repeated here as a second headline because it is not in this packet's facts beyond the shared city total of 410,083).

Underlying IUCR codes inside Sex Offense vary. This narrative does not invent those subtotals. Use the table's code and description fields. Public extracts often keep descriptions short.

Criminal Sexual Assault has its own count on its own hub. This page's 2,148 rows are only Sex Offense among 410,083 Chicago incidents (about 0.5 percent). Combining them without disclosure mixes official CPD labels.

Cite 2,148 with the 410,083 Chicago incident denominator (about 0.5 percent). Keep the IUCR name Sex Offense in the citation so it is not confused with Criminal Sexual Assault. The overlay table is the place for code-level detail. Geography stays block-level. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Share of the Chicago index

At 2,148 reports, Sex Offense is about 0.5 percent of 410,083 indexed Chicago incidents. It is a small share of the city feed and still a type people look up by name. Rank order is a packet fact; severity ranking is not.

Block-level geography and official community area names apply. Pins are not street-number addresses of victims or accused persons. Do not treat a map cluster as identifying a household.

Public extracts often keep descriptions short. That is a privacy and records practice, not missing analysis. This narrative does not fill those descriptions. Filter IUCR codes on the 2,148-row table if you need a narrower statute cut.

If a later harvest recodes rows, 2,148 can move. Record the extract. Public description fields are often short on purpose. This page will not expand them. Official community area names are the city's 77 areas. An arrest flag is not a conviction.

Reading the sex offense table

Filter the 2,148 rows by date and community area. Arrest flags, when present, are not convictions. Missing coordinates stay blank. LocalCrimeVault does not impute community areas or names.

This page stays aggregate. Individual case narrative is not required to state that CPD labeled 2,148 reports with this primary type in the harvest.

Clinic and hospital series measure service encounters, not IUCR primary types. They are not 2,148. Record the harvest. Block-level maps and official community area names (77 areas) are not identifications of victims or accused persons. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Reports, not court or clinic data

Hospital, clinic, and court series are different systems. They are not merged into 2,148. Unreported events never enter the extract. Later recodes can move a row. Quote the figure as CPD report volume for IUCR primary type Sex Offense among 410,083 Chicago incidents.

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

Chicago hub placement

The sex offense type hub holds the live table. The Chicago hub places these 2,148 rows beside Criminal Sexual Assault and the rest of the IUCR mix so the two labels stay distinct. A cross-city sex offense page follows other agencies' statute names, which may not match IUCR.

Cite 2,148 as Chicago Police Department incident rows with IUCR primary type Sex Offense among 410,083 city reports (about 0.5 percent). Keep Criminal Sexual Assault on its own hub. Combining the two without listing both labels will confuse anyone comparing to CPD's tables.

Underlying codes inside Sex Offense vary. Public extracts often keep descriptions short. This page does not invent subtotals and does not add graphic detail. Filter the 2,148-row table if you need a narrower cut.

Citing Sex Offense as a distinct IUCR type

Hospital, clinic, and court series are different systems. Unreported events never enter the extract. Later recodes can move a row. The honest claim is 2,148 public rows in a harvest of 410,083 Chicago incidents.

Block-level geography and official community area names (77 areas) are not street-number addresses of victims or accused persons. Do not treat a map cluster as identifying a household. Record the harvest. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.
