Your article is old, from 2022, and it's opinion that talks about only homicide. Crime can be more commonly about assaults, muggings, stabbings, and rapes, for example. Remember that police are literally running out the door every week. That means fewer police on the job today than the article publish date. Now look up those historical stats.

You think 2022 is “old”?

Most crime stats are down year over year (murder, robbery, rape… ). But you’ll probably say they’re fake even though they track closely with the murder rate.

And NYC is very safe per capita in those stats too, one of the lowest rates in the country.

And historical stats? Crime is way lower than it used to be. We’re around mid-2010s levels how terrifying

Your information isn't accurate. I don't declare anything fake. The uninformed assume as part of their argument. NYPD just released year over year as of Jan 23 stats. Overall index crime is up 1.4% and felony assault is up 14.9%. Anytime someone is actually victimized is, in fact, terrifying. Just ask the victim. That's different than keyboard declarations that are just, false.
