Maybe 2021 was a low year for arrests, making the arrest rate in 2022 look better than it would have been in prior years.

After all, someone can claim that ridership on the MTA has skyrocketed by X percent in 2022. It would be true, but ridership is still down over years before the pandemic.

So statistics need to be questioned.

What number of arrests would quantify the NYPD doing their job for you?

Offhand, I'd say at least 2013 levels, the year before DiBlasio became mayor.

Many offenses since then were decriminalized and/or are no longer prosecuted. So I’d expect the numbers to be much higher.
