Police Supt. Garry McCarthy — hailed as a “Braveheart”-like folk hero after getting out on the streets and leading his troops during the NATO Summit protests in May — is on the hot seat. His key strategy — doing away with mobile strike forces, which formerly were sent out to crime hot spots, and putting more cops back on the beat — has been called a failure by some.
Now, McCarthy is preparing to roll out a new tactic.
Social scientists who have studied murder say they’ve gotten to a point where they can predict who is most likely to become a victim of homicide.
McCarthy wants to take that further. He’s laying plans to have his officers study criminals’ social networks to identify likely killers before they kill.
“It’s going to change the way we do police work,” McCarthy said.
He said other tactics he’s put in place already are paying dividends. On the West Side, for instance, in the Harrison District, the number of murders is actually down this year — by about 40 percent through the end of June.
.....Police brass will cross-reference murder victims and killers with their known associates — the people projected as most likely to be involved in future shootings.
“Hot people,” McCarthy calls them.
Those deemed most likely to commit violence will be targeted first: parolees and people who have outstanding arrest warrants.
McCarthy said his staff estimates there are 26,000 “hot people” living in Chicago.....

Which, in turn, would likely change the way gangs set up hits. Not to say this is a viable option to begin with...
LOL repeat offense rate is 70%. Parole boards can control that by who they let out...so I was told by the head of the TN Parole board during one of the 6 parole hearing we fought to keep our son’s killer in prison for as much of his pathetic 20 year plea bargain as we could get. I got begged to let him go for the last 6 months so they could ‘monitor’ him...I REFUSED and made him serve those 6 months.
Find out who’s most likely to kill. Then, once they’ve killed, move in and make the arrest. Good, sound logic.
They're in the millions, what with the temperatures we've been having this summer...
McCarthy is a big foe of the 2nd Amendment. He'd rather take guns away from law-abiding citizens than go after the gangs. And where are JJ and the Rev. Al? Oh, right, this is Black-on-Black crime. They're only interested in race baiting. What a disgusting, criminal situation we have in our inner cities.
Meanwhile, Detroit has become the justifiable homicide capitol. Think I’d rather take my chances in Detroit.
Democrat policies + demographics + gun ban laws = Chicago. Change any of the 3 and the problem gets better.
Social scientists? Just how are they going to help...require social science lectures each day for the criminal class. Midnight Social Studies????? ...kind of like Midnight Basketball.
They are calling in phrenologist. All people will now have the bumps on their heads read.
How about midnite football
Football is widely acknowledged to be ritual war without the killing and should do wonders for quelling the killing while allowing violence and settling old scores.
They should call in a phalanx of exorcists. Chicago is the dwelling place of Satan.
Obama, the community unorganizer.
Chaos works.
People beg for government help and solutions.....
Gang turf wars, if you notice it is black on black or throw in a hispanic or white gang member occasionally who gets murdered. If these thugs were shooting up the neighborhoods the liberal dandys lived in the city would be in lockdown. This dimwitted white liberal police chief is being blamed for drug sales turf battles, this “debate” is the usual posturing.
Chicago needs some gun control laws.
“...26,000 “hot people” living in Chicago...”
A WHOLE LOT MORE than that are “HOT”, in that hellhole!
Football is widely acknowledged to be ritual war without the killing and should do wonders for quelling the killing while allowing violence and settling old scores.
However, the losers will settle scores tomorrow night at midnight on south Paulina.
No. You can be assured this new plan will prohibit profiling.
