PI \ l \ l>» \I.M(-HKIINKMIAV .JULYa.lfn Report Illinois Crime Trends The release of a major study about crime in Illinois has been announced by Daniel W Weil, chairman of the Illinois Law Enforcement com­ mission The report, entitled. "Illinois Crime Trends: 1972-1981", and prepared by the Illinois Statistical Analysis center, documents patterns of crime in all 102 counties of Illinois over the past ten years. "This study attempts a, com­ prehensive look at crime in all of Illinois over a long period of time," Weil noted He predicted that "the numbers should prove extremely useful to criminal justice officials everywhere in the state. For example, ;he report documents large increases >n specific rural and suburban crimes over the-' past, decade." "In 1972, most serious crime rates m Illinois were higher than in the nation as a whole. By 1980, the op­ posite was I rue and most Illinois rates were lower," Weil said. . "This report generally s u b ­ stantiates the theory that the more urban the county, the higher the c r i m e r a t e , a l t h o u g h t h e r e a r e e x greatest percent increase In rlnisat, property, and vandalism crime rates occurred in predominantly rural county ranked only fourth in Violent counties which have a city over 2S.000 crime and thirteenth in property in population. ceptions. One rural county actually had the highest violent crime rate in the state for 1981. In contrast, Cook offenses," Weil said. Weil also noted other major fin­ dings of the study: ...Between 1972 and 1961, crime rates for murder, rape, burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft all increased in Illinois, while robbery decreased by 2| percent and aggravated assault ^decreased by 10 percent. ...Property offenses out-number violent crimes by more than 10 to one, in Illinois. In 1981, there was ap­ proximately one property offense for every 23 state residents and ap­ proximately one violent crime for every 227 residents. ...Except for murder, most serious crimes vary according to the season of the year, but some more than others In particular, aggravated assault and larceny are highly seasonal crimes, peaking in the siftnmer months. ...Over the 10 years studied, the ...wntie motor vehicle thefts statewide hardly .varied at all, the, number almost doubled In the rural t counties between 1972 and 1978. ...Vandalism rates more than tripled in the rural counties between 1972 and 1981.

Sorm mailorders mvepted on cuohuarv only. (first Federal of Chicago I As with any changing society, our attitudes change with us. Years ago it was common for elderly persons to spend the latter years of their lives in the home of a son or daughter or other close relative. Now many families find themselves in a position of having to work during the day, leaving no one at home to tend to the needs of the elderly or disabled relative. Should the need arise, what would be your attitude about placing a relative in a nursing or shelter home where they could receive the level of attention they need? It no doubt will be oone of the hardest -- and potentially most costly - decisions you may have to make. Many concerned persons, on the verge of placing someone in a TWE IIUIIIC, BIT nnumg alternate sources of care that provide a level of help for individuals who are unable to fully fend for themselves but are much too active and healthy for a nursing home. Many seniors and disabled persons need someone to help with housework or other chores once or twice a week. Others need in­ termittent medical attention or therapy such as helping with insulin shots or taking other medications or treatment These individuals do nol require the expense of being placed in a care facility. In most cases it has been proven time and again that the best medicine or the best location to provide peace of mind to the elderly or handicapped person is at home and in familiar surroundings Where do you find c o m p e t e n t a n d responsible persons to "look-in" during the day when no one else is at home? In. many com­ munities in-home care, adult day care and homemaker services are available. If the person needs help with m e d i c a t i o n s o m e regions of the state offer a Visiting Nurses program or a Com­ munity Health service Whether you have need of someone to help in the home on a short term basis or if you d e s i r e i n f o r m a t i o n about the various levels of long-term care of­ fered by nursing homes, one of the thirteen statewide Area Agen- cies on Aging can assist you.
