Assault police reports in Chicago

The Chicago × Assault cell

Kind city-type means one offense label crossed with one city. Here the offense is Assault and the city is Chicago. The stored count is 37,107. Drop Assault and the remaining object is the Chicago crime hub. Drop Chicago and the remaining object is Assault across cities.

Assault on the Chicago IUCR file is a threat or attempt without the completed battery contact that Battery records. The two primary types are not interchangeable. Chicago’s 77 official community areas exist on the source feed, but this packet has no area split, so no neighborhood subtotal is quoted. Municipal open-data police reports (not convictions). Counts are not a safety ranking; coding differs by city.

Chicago Police Department coding for Assault

Chicago Police Department assigns primary types on the City of Chicago open-data portal. Assault is the stored string for this URL, including punctuation and spelling as harvested. Do not recode it into Battery and homicide and keep 37,107 as if those labels were the same bucket.

A later prosecutor file, an unfounded-report flag, or an IUCR/Penal Law recode can move a source row without this snapshot changing. Treat the live Assault in Chicago overlay as current if it refreshes. This JSON is a labeled harvest of 37,107 rows.

Other cities stay off this count

Chicago is the geography noun on this page. Other cities that use a similar English label still run different coding manuals. This join does not add those cities’ counts to 37,107 and does not rank Chicago against them as safer or worse.

See Assault in Chicago for the type overlay, the Chicago crime hub for other offense labels in the same city, Assault across cities for the type hub, and all crime ties for sibling joins. Those four hrefs are the only internal links used.

Limits on 37,107

37,107 is not a per-capita rate. Population is not a packet fact, so this page does not divide 37,107 by residents. 37,107 is not an arrest total, not a clearance rate, and not a conviction count. Arrest flags on source rows, if any, are unpublished here.

Correlation is not causation. A large Assault harvest in Chicago does not prove a policy cause and does not prove Chicago is more dangerous than another city. Police-report coding differs by agency.

Do not fold in Battery and homicide

Related labels on the same feed include Battery and homicide. Those types have their own city-type pages if stored. Adding them to 37,107 would invent a combined offense that this packet does not publish. Keep Assault as the only type in the 37,107 citation.

Chicago’s 77 official community areas exist on the source feed, but this packet has no area split, so no neighborhood subtotal is quoted. Do not invent a community-area, borough, or reporting-district table from this file. Official neighborhood names belong on neighborhood pages that are not facts here.

Repeat the join for a footnote: city Chicago, primary type Assault, count 37,107, agency Chicago Police Department, source the City of Chicago open-data portal. Assault on the Chicago IUCR file is a threat or attempt without the completed battery contact that Battery records. The two primary types are not interchangeable. The Chicago crime hub still mixes every other type. The Assault across-cities hub still mixes every other city in that extract.

What a reader may not do with 37,107: treat it as a safety score, treat it as convictions, merge it with Battery and homicide, or invent a neighborhood ranking. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote Chicago Police Department, follow the four internal links, and keep reports labeled as reports.

This page does not publish a year split, a month split, or a victim/offender table. If those cuts exist on the City of Chicago open-data portal, they are not packet facts here and are not invented. The published object remains 37,107 Assault reports in Chicago.
