I don't think trauma care is what resources should be allocated too, nor should gunshot wounds be the reason for advancement in medical care. There are definitely systemic issues at hand and I think its in part due to poverty levels, gang affiliation, gun ownership/access rates to people who really shouldn't have access, and crime enforcement being spread too thin in some areas; and too much enforcement in others.
It's quite the conundrum as to where resources should be allocated to bring violent crime down, and what the best starting point is. It's definitely interesting to watch from afar.
It's also great to see the reduction from 2002-2014, and I hope it's a lasting trend in Chicago
