Taking a look at the data up till 2019 it appears to be a bell curve with a increase into the 1980s followed by a decrease into 2019. I do wonder if this is more of a being involved in it for 20 years has just mentally drained this person.

I think most of the rise is in the last few years. I don't know about the whole of Illinois but Chicago (in which county this prosecutor seemed to be based), crime rate seems to have risen back to 1980s level.

The Wikipedia numbers are reported by the CPD and are therefore skewed by their political objectives.
