Crime in New York City Plunges to a Level Not Seen Since the 1950s

By:  Ashley Southall 

New York Times

28 December 2017

It would have seemed unbelievable in 1990, when there were 2,245 killings in New York City, but as of Wednesday there have been just 286 in the city this year — the lowest since reliable records have been kept.

In fact, crime has fallen in New York City in each of the major felony categories — murder and manslaughter, rape, assault, robbery, burglary, grand larceny, and car thefts — to a total of 94,806 as of Sunday, well below the previous record low of 101,716 set last year.

If the trend holds just a few more days, this year’s homicide total will be under the city’s previous low of 333 in 2014, and crime will have declined for 27 straight years, to levels that police officials have said are the lowest since the 1950s. The numbers, when taken together, portray a city of 8.5 million people growing safer even as the police, under Mayor Bill de Blasio, use less deadly force, make fewer arrests and scale back controversial practices like stopping and frisking thousands of people on the streets.

“There is no denying that the arc is truly exceptional in the unbroken streak of declining crime,” said William J. Bratton, who retired from his second stint as police commissioner last year.

But officials see one area of concern: an uptick in reports of rapes toward the end of the year. The increase, which officials said included a higher-than-normal number of attacks that occurred more than one year ago, coincided with the publication of accusations against powerful men like Harvey Weinstein, which gave rise to the #MeToo movement encouraging victims to come forward. City police officials have said they believed news coverage played a role in the spike in reports, though they also credited their own efforts combating domestic violence with encouraging victims to speak up.

And while rapes were down from last year by one, to 1,417, misdemeanor sex crimes — a catchall for various types of misconduct that includes groping — ticked up 9.3 percent to 3,585 so far.

The lower homicide numbers are still preliminary — and include one announced on Wednesday night — but they jibe with large drops in killings in major cities like Chicago and Detroit, while contrasting with sizable increases in killings in smaller cities like Charlotte and Baltimore.

The city today is a far cry from what it was when Mr. Bratton arrived in 1990 to become the head of the then-separate Transit Police. Not only were there 2,245 killings that year, but there were more than 527,000 major felony crimes and more than 5,000 people shot. Shootings have plunged to 774 so far this year, well below last year’s record low of 998. And for the first time, fewer than 1,000 people have been hurt by gunfire: 917 as of Sunday.

The continued declines are a boon to Mr. de Blasio, a Democrat elected on promises of police reform — promises that prompted warnings of mayhem to come by his opponents in 2013. But the opposite has happened, putting him on stronger footing as he pivots to a second term with a Police Department transformed to exercise greater restraint as it focuses on building trust in the city’s neighborhoods.

Franklin E. Zimring, a professor at University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, said the downturn was an “astounding achievement,” but it raised another question: How long and low will crime fall?

“We don’t know when we’ve exhausted the possibilities of urban crime decline, and we won’t know unless and until New York scrapes bottom,” said Mr. Zimring, who analyzed the first 20 years of New York’s historic crime reduction and expounded on it in a book.

Mr. de Blasio and the police commissioner, James P. O’Neill, credit recent drops in crime to the Police Department’s emphasis on going after the relatively small groups of people — mostly gangs and repeat offenders — believed to be responsible for most crime, while also building relationships in communities where trust has been strained.

Mr. Bratton applauded political support for the police from the mayor, who provided funding for investments in officer hiring, training, equipment and overdose-reversal drugs.

The reductions in New York are a part of what the Brennan Center for Justice expects will be a 2.7-percent decline in crime rates and 5.6-percent drop in murder rates across the country’s largest cities. After record-high bloodshed last year, killings in Chicago have declined 15 percent.

So much for Trump's "description" of urban America.  As with so many of Trump's statements, tweets and policies, they are simply made from whole cloth with not a single fact to support them.  His "signature" achievement so far in his Administration until the passage of the "Tax Transfer of Ginourmous Wealth to the Already Wealthy Reform Act," was the Muslim Travel Ban.  Well, not only is this Executive Order - the third rendition - still being turned back in the courts, its very foundation is just dumb.  Chad for God's sake?  We have to be worried about Islamic Terrorists from Chad?  WTF? 

Although the inclusion of Chad on the Muslim Travel Ban list is a mystery, there's an even bigger mystery regarding the list.   If this list had been developed with an eye to data or facts or let's just say reasonably reliable info, wouldn't Saudi Arabia be at the top of this list based on historical facts?  Unless I'm mistaken or the history of 9-11 has already been officially rewritten, weren't  15 of the 19 attackers from the Islamic Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?  And if this is the case, unless history has been rewritten as I just noted, why doesn't Saudi Arabia top the Muslim Travel Ban list?

 But no.  Not gonna' happen.  Saudi Arabia is our ally even though they are the ones who have spread fundamentalist Wahhabi Islam throughout the world for decades now.  But Trump ran off to bow down to the Kings and Princes of the desert nation just as soon as he could after his inauguration.  Lots of pageantry and ceremony including that one of the ritual stroking of the glowing orb.  What the fuck was that anyways? 

Take Care!  And Watch Out For Those Chadian Terrorists!
