The Big Apple saw a decrease of 2% in the great crime in the first few months of the tax year – together with a dip in transit crime, revealed an early view of the annual report of mayor Eric Adams.
The Adams administration is expected to increase a fall in transit crime by 7%, a reduction of 9% in car thefts, 3% less large larcenies, a decrease in the robberies of 4.8% and a dip of 2.8% in Burglaries from July to October last year compared to the same period in 2023, according to a source of the town hall.
“Our administration is aimed at making New York City the best place to found a family, and that means that our city is becoming safer and more affordable and improves the quality of life for New Yorkers in the working class,” said Adams.
“Preventing crime in our parks to combat car thefts to make the metro system safer, we deliver that mission and ensure that New York City remains the safest big city in the country.”
The leaked data comes from the management report of the provisional mayor. The full report will be released on Thursday afternoon and offers a report card for city services.
“The data shows that from July to October there were fewer victims of major crimes – and thousands fewer victims of major crimes in the entire year because overall crime had fallen in 2024 – but we remain focused on the work that still has to be done Keep making sure that New Yorkers are both safe and feel safe, “said Adams.
The announcement comes as New Yorkers will falter of horrible crimes that the headlines have caught and Big Apple has put residents on a high alert.
Last month, a sleeping metro rider burned dead on an F train in Coney Island after a crazy game had thrown on an illuminated game, so she burst into flames on a Sunday morning.
A crazy used a hammer to bash the teeth of a teenager after the victim refused to give up his chair for a woman in a D train in the Bronx Monday, the police said.
That same day a wanderer with two open things was arrested because he reportedly had thrown a female straphanger into a train in Manhattan, according to the police.
Although data can show in the past three or four years that the Stadssubway slows crime or remains the same, the same data shows, according to a total metro violence in the past 10 years, according to an Aaron Chalfin study, a professor in the Criminology at the University of Pennsylvania.
“I think when you see news stories that say that violent crime has been quite constant, this is probably because people have referred in the last few years, where things have been matched a bit. But during the longer period we see the violence coming up, “he told the post.
Violent crimes and rape, rape, theft and mistreatment-bijna have doubled since 2014 on a per-rider basis. Then about one violent crime took place per 1 million riders, while in 2024 about 2.5 violent crimes took place per 1 million street hangers. , Said Chalfin.
What he found most fascinating from his studies is that attack crimes float the increase in metro crime, and there is no “acquisition motif” behind the attacks.
“You see this with regard to murders. It used to be that many murders were motivated by gangs that fought for illegal markets, robberies that went wrong, and today a large, large part of the murders are really interpersonal disputes that do not have a nexus for financial motives or simply as a very weak Nexus At his best, “he explained.
Since 2009, the metro attacks have tripled, while instrumental crimes, such as theft, have fallen, according to the study of Chalfin.
His data showed a very strong link between people who commit violent crimes and mental health and homelessness.
For part of his studies, Chalfin NYPD data analyzed from 2023 to 2024. It demonstrated that of the people who were four or more in the metro with at least one of the arrests for a violent crime, 80% had been documented as one Having a psychiatric issue and 90% was homeless at some point.
“So I think there is something more going on than just what happens in the Metro in New York City.”
