Anti-violence groups under scrutiny after deadly robbery involving a peacekeeper
Update: 2025-10-09
Description
A deadly smash-and-grab in downtown Chicago is raising questions about the best way to reduce crime in the city.
One of the alleged offenders was a peacekeeper who had recently posed for a photo with Governor J-B Pritzker.
Allies of the Trump administration point to such incidents as proof that Chicago needs National Guard troops.
But experts say it’s not that simple.
They contend that violent crime is down, thanks in part to those who mediate conflict in the city’s toughest neighborhoods.
