Mayor Rahm Emanuel made waves earlier this week when he said about violence in Chicago “it’s whether you have values.” Emanuel also made the rare admission that maybe warmer temperatures might have something to do with the spikes in homicides, assaults, arsons and other major crimes in Chicago.
That was followed by Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy saying Emanuel’s mandate for Chicago Public Schools to install air conditioning in schools with no or partial air conditioning may help lower the city’s violent crime rates. Per the Sun-Times’ Michael Sneed, 42,000 CPS students attend CPS summer school and other programs during the summer months. “Summer programming in a cool environment provides young people with positive ways to focus their energy, and is an important part of preventing violence and protecting public safety,” McCarthy said.
