A mixed month for Chicago

The August crime report is out. The increase in murders for the year has dropped from 18.1% to 15.7%. Hey, it's less bad, that's an improvement, right?

But. (There's always a but)

Violent and property crime continue to increase overall from 2.4% each to 3% and 2.9% respectively.

I wonder what September will look like with the nicer weather and a police work slow-down.
