I was reading the latest crime statistics report from the FBI about 2 weeks ago. Chicago was reporting a decrease in murders, but an increase in crimes in general.

The hot spots at the moment were Louisville, Baton Rouge and Phoenix are seeing the highest percentages of increases in crimes.

The decrease was due to less alive people from recent years.
