Number of crimes New York continues to decline

Millions city New York seems to be becoming safer.

The previous 'record year' in the area of ​​murders in the city was 2014. At that time 333 people were killed by violent crimes: at that moment the lowest number in history. The crime figures also show a decreasing trend in the areas of burglaries, robberies and car theft, among other things.

If that trend continues for a few days, the number of offenses has fallen 27 years in a row. It is striking that the number of reports of rapes increased by the end of the year. An above-average number of victims also reported sexual abuse that would have occurred more than a year ago. Police officers suspect that reporting about the MeToo movement plays a role in this.
