Your chances of being victim of a violent crime in Chicago in any given year are about one in a hundred
Pardon my ignorance, but what does that mean?
Like, 1% of Chicagoans are victims of violent crime every year?
Or like, the number of violent crimes per year divided by the population equals 1%?
Or something else?
Some of those are worse than others.
“Your chances of being victim of a violent crime in any given year is 1%” sounds like a fuckton of violent crime is happening in that city. And you’re saying it’s 2% in other cities!?
