New York City crime statistics reveal that overall crime in New York City is on the rise year-over-year
New York Police Department’s monthly statistics show that overall crime increased 11.2 percentage last month, compared to October 2020.
The overall crime rate increased by 11.2 percent in October 2019 compared to October 2020. Robbery increased by 15.8 percent while felony assault rose to 13.8 percent.
According to data from police, the number of shootings in this borough is up by 28 percent compared with last year.
De Blasio blamed New York City’s crime skyrocketing this month by blaming the courts. He claimed a slight decrease in murder rates, but ignored an 11 percent increase in total crime between October 2020 and October 2020.
“In this city, there is real change.” In a press conference, de Blasio stated that while there is still much to be done, real progress has been made. It’s not about precision police, but about neighbourhood policing. These approaches are effective.
De Blasio has previously supported ‘neighborhood copcing’, and his decision of disbanding the plainclothes-anti-crime unit (which was involved in numerous highly publicized police shootings).
“Commissioner Shea,” who is a veteran of this work for over 30 years felt the construction of the unit was creating an inequity with local communities and bad will, de Blasio stated on WNYC’s “The Brian Lehrer Show.”
He added: “He also thought that it wasn’t a good way to get weapons off the streets or to make sure you have successful prosecutions. He wanted to see more officers wearing uniforms, the same skilled officers doing their work in a new way. This happened, and the number of gun arrests has increased, increasing, and increasing.
Eric Adams, the next president, has however pledged to return it.
“That is an indictment against us. We have to dissolve something because people aren’t performing their jobs. What about saying “You are going to do what you have to”? He said that if an officer acts abusively in plainclothes, then he will be abusive in uniform.
He added that “No police chief is going to tell” you that it was impossible for a city police force without a plainclothes unit.
Eric Adams said that he will name his police commissioner in the wake of Thanksgiving.
