Hate Crimes Rise in NYC as General Crime Takes a Dip

The crime index, which assesses the six categories of murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, grand larceny and grand larceny auto, fell from a year ago. 

Crime in New York City saw a 2.9% decline in January compared to the same time last year, as authorities continue touting their work to combat lawlessness in the Big Apple. “It is evident that the tremendous work being done by the men and women of the NYPD to confront gun violence head-on continues to drive significant reductions in violence and disorder across many categories,” said Police Commissioner Edward Caban.
