NYC Crime Drops But Subways and Hate Crimes Rise | Newark News

New York City is experiencing historic crime drops, with murders and shootings hitting record lows—murders down 22%, shooting victims down 5% year-to-date. July alone set new records for safety, even amid major events like the NBA finals and World Cup. The Bronx leads in crime reduction, and public housing saw its safest start to the year ever. But challenges remain: subway assaults and thefts rose 1%, rapes increased slightly due to a broader legal definition, and hate crimes jumped 9%, mostly anti-Jewish incidents. NYPD is focusing on fixing these trends while building on the city’s overall safety gains. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
