One
City Continues Its Reputation as
Chicago’s Leading Urban Affairs Magazine
|
“We
have to ask our legislators and ourselves this question: If our
child were mixed up with the wrong crowd and found themselves in
trouble with the law, what kind of juvenile justice system would
we hope for?” |
The Council believes one of its key roles is to create a more informed citizenry by presenting up-to-date information about the challenging issues facing the Chicagoland area.
The Council continued to provide extensive public education research through One City magazine. This past year saw the Summer/Fall 1999 One City expand to a record 62 pages!
This particular issue of One City analyzed the current policies of Cook County’s Juvenile Court—the first and oldest juvenile justice system in the world. One City also featured an article by Alex Correa, a young man who spent time in both the juvenile and adult criminal court.

—Excerpt from the Spring/ Summer 2000 One City |
The Council’s Spring/Summer 2000 issue focused on the results of its citywide survey about youth crime in Chicago, and included several feature stories highlighting the major themes of the survey results such as disconnections about youth crime between the community, legislators and the media, racial disparity and stereotyping, and concerns about the efficiency and trustworthiness of the Juvenile Court and The Chicago Police Department.
In addition, the Council announced a partnership with both Project Equality (a national organization that works with corporations, nonprofits, and religious organizations to help reach diversity and affirmative action goals and provides EEO compliance audits) and the Girl Scouts of Chicago to copublish issues of One City focusing on workforce diversity and girls and diversity.
