When Arrest Stats Go Up, So Does the Need for Criminal Defense

Law Offices of Andrew M. Weisberg

In a vicious circle of responding to statistics, the mayor of Chicago has recently responded to statistics noting the high level of violence in the city with an increased police presence in areas where there tends to be more trouble. This increased patrol has led to an increase in arrests for violent crimes, which means that the statistics related to the number of violent crimes in the city will likewise increase. As this statistical cat-and-mouse charade plays out, there is also, understandably, an increase in the number of individuals who need the services of a criminal defense law firm.

With Chicago Police targeting areas of the city more ardently, traffic stops, monitoring of city transit, and patrolling of neighborhoods has increased. Also on the rise are the number of arrests in those areas. However, when statistics surrounding the number of arrests made increases, invariably so do the number of charges that are eventually dropped because there is not enough evidence for the D.A.’s office to proceed. In other words, if arrests in Chicago are on the rise, then the number of innocent people arrested will rise, too. And if those numbers go up, the number of those in need of a law firm that can successfully build a defense against erroneous criminal charges also increases.
