Corrupt Police Gangs Wreak Havoc In Chicago

AI technology developed by Northwestern University has identified over 100 “crews” of Chicago Police Department officers that are responsible for about 25% of misconduct claims of excessive use of force, police shootings, and payouts for civil and criminal litigations. A more shocking data point is that 25% of claims are conducted by only 4% of the entire officer workforce. Cenk Uygur and Adrienne Lawrence discuss on The Young Turks.

"A new study has used machine learning to identify over 100 possible "crews" of officers in the Chicago Police Department responsible for a disproportionate share of police misconduct and violence.

The study—authored by researchers at Northwestern University and the Invisible Institute and published on Wednesday in PLOS ONE—identified approximately 160 groups of officers, referred to as "crews." The identified groups consisted of less than 4 percent of Chicago's police officers but accounted for about 25 percent of "all use of force complaints, city payouts for civil and criminal litigations, and police-involved shootings," These crews generated about 18 percent of all complaints filed by Black residents and 14 percent of all Hispanic residents, according to the researchers.

To identify cops who intentionally group themselves into crews, the researchers used data from sources including complaints, assignments, and settlements to see which officers were involved in "alleged co-misconduct," how often recurrent co-misconduct happened within the group instead of external to it, whether officers in a crew engaged in "similar types of alleged misconduct," and whether there seemed to be well-defined membership whether by age, location, race, or other attributes.

"Explanations for police misconduct often center on a narrow notion of 'problem officers,' the proverbial 'bad apples,'" the researchers write. "Such an individualistic approach not only ignores the larger systemic problems of policing but also takes for granted the group-based nature of police work. Nearly all of police work is group-based and officers' formal and informal networks can impact behavior, including misconduct.”"
