In terms of overall crime trends, the month of June witnessed a 16.8 percent decrease in shooting incidents compared to the previous year.
The city also saw a 7.4 percent drop in retail theft, which had been a significant concern earlier this year. Additionally, there were decreases in murder, rape, robbery, burglary, and grand larceny.
However, transit crime experienced an uptick during the same period. Despite this increase, the overall transit crime rate for 2023 still reflects a 4.4 percent decrease compared to 2022. Notably, there was a substantial 22.8 percent increase in grand larceny auto, primarily attributed to the ease with which vehicles like Hyundai and Kia can be stolen within seconds.
Alarmingly, 32 percent of all arrests are individuals under the age of eighteen, according to Chief of Crime Control Strategies Michael Lipetri. Despite the recent surge in shootings, the NYPD highlights that there have been nearly 200 fewer shooting victims this year compared to the same period last year. that I have read and agree
