Where these figures come from
Every figure on this page is read from the record file annual_by_type.json, downloaded from the City of Chicago Open Data Portal and fetched on 2026-10-30. Period covered by these rows: the source rows are grouped by calendar year, 2002 to 2002.
All figures are counts of incident reports submitted to the Chicago Police Department. The arrest count is the number of those reports the same records flag as resulting in an arrest. These are reports, not proven offences, and an arrest is not a conviction.
