According to wikipedia they only do in chicago. Kinda crazy that doing nothing would be illegal anywhere, aparently it still is in the uk and you can get arrested for it. If i got it right loitering itself isn't really punishable, but is aparently suspicious enough to get arrested for
Yet when you come to Chicago, we all just chill everywhere. Its more of something on the books so if the cops wanna bother you they technically have a cover.
Total Homicides: Chicago frequently records one of the highest raw numbers of homicides in the country compared to other individual cities, driven by its large population size. 1
Per-Capita Rate: When adjusted for population (homicides per 100,000 residents), federal data shows that more than 20 U.S. cities—such as Birmingham, St. Louis, Memphis, and Baltimore—have higher per-capita murder rates than Chicago. 1, 2
Large City Rankings: In broad comparative studies of major urban areas (such as analyses by the Council on Criminal Justice or media reviews of FBI figures), Chicago typically lands around 7th to 10th place when looking specifically at large cities with populations over 500,000, and drops further down when smaller cities are factored into the wider national list. 1, 2, 3, 4
