🚨The #crimestats for #NYC are out and they’re not good.

Murder: ⬆️ 25%
Rape: ⬆️ 63.6%
Robbery: ⬆️ 63.7%
F. Assault: ⬆️ 23%
Burgs: ⬆️ 21%
Grand Larceny: ⬆️ 79.8%
GLA: ⬆️ 103.5%

Shooting Vics: ⬇️ 30%
Shooting Incidents: ⬇️ 31.6%

Week: ⬆️ 57.58%
YTD: ⬆️ 48.49%
The only bright spot was shootings down and Murder was up 1. Other than that, they’re ugly.

Weekly #crimestats by #NYC Borough:

Bronx: ⬆️ 40.34%
Brooklyn South: ⬆️ 88.36%
Brooklyn North: ⬆️ 41.98%
Manhattan South: ⬆️ 60.09%
Manhattan North: ⬆️ 62.58%
Queens South: ⬆️ 56.93%
Queens North: ⬆️ 72.5%
Staten Island: ⬆️ 52.5%
Crimes in #NYC Transit had another bad week: ⬆️ 31.2% and now YTD ⬆️ 60.8%.

We (I will) should keep a close eye on Transit crime since the new plan started at 4PM on 2/21/2022. Let’s hope we see a marketed improvement over the next few weeks.
Another spike in Hate Crimes in #NYC

Week ⬆️ 216.7 % (19 vs 6)
YTD ⬆️ 121.2 % (73 vs. 33)

There should be a weekly breakdown on the categories of Hate Crimes.
For those that love to go into the annals of #NYC crime history:

Since 2020: ⬆️ 13.56%
Since 2010: ⬆️ 20.11%
Since: 1993: ⬇️ 72.47%
It’s also about time the Mayor addressed the rampant GLAs (car thefts). They’ve been off the charts for a few years now, but have rocketed off so far in 2022. Yet, not much talk about it.
I’d like to see a breakdown of: make, model, and years. Historically, cars are stolen for parts-is this still true? How many are used in other crimes? Joyriding? Etc.

Today start’s Day 1 of @NYCMayor’s plan for the Subway #NYC

nypost.com/2022/02/21/nyc…
1/?
Here is what we should see go along with cops and social workers:
Each station they are clearing, should have an ambulance, triage bus, a representative for the @NYCDHS. This way, those that need immediate medical attention get it. The DHS can place the person in a shelter
2/? The @NYCDHS should have a list of shelters and the number of available beds. There should be transportation ready at the locations to remove the individual to the shelter. DHS must take a more active role in, well, helping the homeless. This all can’t fall on the NYPD.

One thing I’ve noticed about the, “It’s [crime] not as bad as it was in the 1990s” crowd is: they actually never lived through it. They either weren’t born yet, just a baby, or moved to #NYC in 2010 as a urban pioneer. For those of us that did, we never want to see that again.
If you base your entire perception on what is happening right now on statistics and not experiences, I have news for you, the same conversations were happening in the 1970s. As the famous quote goes, “If you don’t know your history, you’re doomed to repeat it.”
If you lived through the ‘bad ole days,’ homelessness, crime on the Subway, shootings, stabbings, disorder, chaos, graffiti, etc. were all the top stories, sort of what we are seeing in the headlines today. The only thing I’m missing is the ‘why?”

1) What’s happening with the surge in violent crime in NYC and elsewhere? “Criminologists” interviewed by CNN can’t quite put a finger on what’s causing it. As far as I’m concerned, you don’t need to be a PhD nor a slide rule to figure it out.
2) What we do need is honesty from anyone, especially academics when interviewed about the surge in violence. That honesty has to happen even if it goes against everything you’ve been taught and learned.
3) One criminologist said it was “reasonably clear” that the spike was due to COVID restrictions. Really? I know the mayor and other politicians like to use this excuse, but we are not seeing violence surge across the board in every community.

40% of gun arrests in 2013/14 had jail or prison in 2019 there have been only 17% due to reforms - NYPD Presser
275 prisoners released earlier from Rikers have been rearrested 550 times since they got out
