A Conversation with Jens Ludwig

March 1, 2022 On March 1, NPR correspondent Cheryl Corley interviewed Jens Ludwig, director of the University of Chicago’s Crime Lab, about Chicago’s epidemic of gun violence and how to treat it. The data shows that gun violence is the phenomenon most responsible for driving people out of cities. Ludwig cited University of Chicago data estimates that every murder in a city reduces the city’s population on net by about 70 people. Overall crime rates are down in recent years, but gun violence is up dramatically in Chicago since 2019. There’s been an approximately 60% increase in murders and non-fatal shootings and a 300% to 500% increase in carjackings.
