(cont'd from yesterday's post)
There's a small chance that someone doing a carjacking in the Chicago area will pay a price for it. An arrest was made in only 11% of carjacking cases in 2020. Prosecutors would approve felony charges in less than half of those cases.
The 18-year-old who robbed and murdered a young man near the University campus was already on probation for aggravated carjacking and armed robbery. Few arrests, easy probation and little or no bail for the release of suspects may convince the criminal that he has every chance to escape prosecution.
Stronger families would help too. But that may be too politically incorrect. This author says, "It's time to stop making excuses for what one brave Chicago alderman . . called the borderline collapse of the family unit . . and the effects of generational gang life."
Police department reports show that "the neighborhoods with the highest murder rates are the same neighborhoods in which births to single mothers are highest." "Households headed by two biological parents regardless of race" have better outcomes.
