You're less likely to get murdered, shot, stabbed, robbed or raped on Chicago streets so far this year.
But the city's nearly 9 percent across-the-board crime decrease touted by police -- including a 3 percent dip in violent crime -- doesn't tell the whole story about crime in Chicago neighborhoods, a Chicago Sun-Times analysis of district-by-district crime data shows.
But so far this year, other trends are emerging:
• • A collection of West Side neighborhoods in the Harrison District (11th) became Chicago's new top murder hot spot.
• • Robbers and burglars were so busy in the Chicago Lawn District (8th) that there was an average of 186 burglaries and 106 robberies reported each month between January and June.
• • The Shakespeare District (14th) -- home to parts of gentrifying Bucktown and Logan Square -- saw violent crime spike by nearly 30 percent. There were double-digit percentage increases in murders, robberies and assaults and batteries with weapons.

Congratulations 011
You're leading the murder parade. Again:
Luckily, 011 has a new commander to rival the Burger Queen. She's set to kick ass, take names, and don't forget to jump to attention like you have springs in your trousers when she walks in the room.
