The first layer of this map displays the location of 23 Police Stations in the city of Chicago. The second layer of the map displays the number of crimes that had taken place between 04/10/2019 and 04/20/19. Despite visibility of the crime issue within a period of 10 days, there is no real consensus on the causative agents of increasing crime rates, although it has been linked to poverty and segregation. “In Chicago, homicide rates correspond with segregation. While many areas have few or no killings, the South and West sides are on the par with the world’s most dangerous countries, like Brazil and Venezuela, and have been for many years,” according to the New York Times. The issue of crime is also irreparable because of incarceration. While the United States is 4% of the world’s population, it houses 22% of the world’s prisoners. The justice system fails to deploy restorative justice, which would repair the harm by addressing both victims and offenders. Dave Kelly, executive director of the Precious Blood Ministry of Reconciliation, implements the process of restorative justice. This process is more transformative as opposed to the courts transactional approach.
