August 31, 2021 Shot And Forgotten: The Hidden Crisis Among Chicagoans Surviving Gun Violence
Of every six people shot in Chicago, five survive. But while much of the attention from the media, law enforcement, city leaders and the public is on homicides, there is a hidden crisis across the city: survivors face physical, psychological and emotional recovery with little to know help.
In Part One (of three) of our collaboration with the nonprofit newsroom The Trace, Reset learns the stories of survivors of gun violence in Chicago: what resources they need, and what recovery looks like without it.

August 18, 2021 Re-Imagine Chicago: Fewer Responsibilities, Better Policing?
In the U.S. we’ve been trained to call 911 almost regardless of the circumstances, and who responds to those calls? Police officers. Even when they may not have specialized training for the crisis at hand. But what if it were different? What if police didn’t handle mental health calls? Or property crime? Or paperwork? Could fewer responsibilities lead to better policing? Reset explores those questions for the latest in our series, “Re-Imagine Chicago.”
