Chicago, Sin City.

Chicago, the third largest city in the United States, is located in the south of Lake Michigan among the Great Lakes. It is an important economic center and industrial center in North America.

The total area of Chicago is 606. 1? The population is about 2.9 million. Chicago was once a swamp. 1833 When the town was built, there were only 350 residents. 1870 population increased to 300,000, and 1900 soared to170,000.

Chicagoua's name comes from the French translation of the word Shikaakwa in Algonquin, which means skunk or onion.

When it comes to Chicago, people will think of a place with developed economy and high-rise buildings. In fact, Chicago is called the hometown of skyscrapers. It also has a world-famous top university, the University of Chicago and its derivative Chicago School. We celebrate May Day every year. Labor Day originated in Chicago, although Americans don't celebrate it.

If you have to describe Chicago in one sentence, it should be heaven and hell. Although Chicago has developed economy, top universities and prosperous tourism, it is also one of the worst cities in the United States.

From 200 1 to 20 16, the number of deaths in the Iraq war in the United States was 4,504, and the number of deaths in the Afghan war was 2,384. 16 The death toll in Chicago was 79 16, far exceeding the sum of the two wars. In just 20 16 a year, he killed 23.8 people out of every100000 people in Chicago.

But in fact, Chicago is not all bad in public security. In the rich areas where white people gather in the north of the city, infrastructure construction, culture and education and public security management are better than those in the south and west of the city.

Gangs in Chicago can be said to be very famous. Gangs in Chicago can be roughly divided into two types, one is a traditional gang composed of Italian immigrants after World War I, and the other is a modern gang composed of blacks who fled to Chicago from the southern United States because of apartheid.

After World War I, a large number of Italian immigrants poured into Chicago, bringing traditional Italian gangs. But now the Chicago mafia is no longer the Italian mafia, and the Italian mafia in Chicago has long since washed its hands of it.

Today's Chicago gangs are all black descendants who came to Chicago to make a living because of the apartheid policy. They are different from Italian gangs. They are more dangerous. Most Italian gangs are well-organized and disciplined. The modern gangsters, composed of black people, have no organization and discipline, but a mob.

According to the Chicago Gangster Report, there are 59 large-scale gangs and more than 2,400 small factions in Chicago, with a total membership of 65,438+10,000.

After several gang bosses in Chicago were arrested and imprisoned in the 1990 s, the original big gangs split and formed many small gangs.

Too many gangs will cause friction, and there will be more and more fights between gangs, which will become the root cause of violent crimes and shootings in Chicago. Most murders in Chicago are related to gang fights.

Faced with the increasingly serious public security problem, the Chicago government is helpless and unable to effectively eliminate gangs.

Gangsters often hide illegal items such as drugs and guns in residents' homes, and residents will keep them secret. Because there are more gangs in Chicago than the police, the police will not be there every day, but the gangs will, so no residents dare to offend the gangs.

Then increase the police force. It's not that easy! It takes money to increase police force. Although Chicago is rich, don't forget how the rich in America evade taxes.

In view of the public security problem in Chicago, those who want to go to school, travel and live, please think twice before you do.
