CHICAGO — Cook County’s top judge discussed juvenile justice, ankle bracelets and a technique for criminal case management Thursday during a policy address at the Union League Club of Chicago.
“Despite the best efforts of men and women of goodwill all over this county, the average resident who lives here lives in fear,” Chief Judge Timothy Evans said, addressing a spike in violence last year.
Evans proposed long-term and short-term solutions to crime spikes, and announced he’s looking to implement a “differentiated case management” system in the criminal division to make the system more consistent, after working with the National Center for State Courts.
