NO, MR. MAYOR, NYC HASN’T ‘TURNED A CORNER’ ON CRIME
By
Post Editorial Board
Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.
Back to Reading
Published Jan. 6, 2024, 8:03 a.m. ET
Mayor Eric Adams declared that "crime is down" in NYC as car thefts surged a
staggering staggering 191% compared to pre-COVID, according to NYPD data. AP

AFTER FOURTH ARREST IN PAST YEAR
Overall crime in New York City dropped in 2023 over 2022; we’re still the
“safest big city in America,” as Mayor Adams boasted recently — but that’s cold
comfort when we’re still far behind 2019, the last year before the destructive
effects of our criminal-justice “reforms” made themselves visible.
Consider car thefts: 5,438 in 2019; 15,802 in 2023.
That’s a jump of 191% — and 15% higher than 2022’s awful total of 13,741.
Auto theft is a crime of vast social import, nearly as big a violation as a home
break-in.
And yes, insurance can cover it, but the hassle of getting paid out and getting
another vehicle is a life-wrecking inconvenience.
That a huge chunk of the increase was apparently driven by social-media dares
over stealing Hyundais and Kias only proves just how bad the lawlessness has
gotten.
Crime is up 31% overall since 2019, with big jumps in felony assaults (almost
35%), shootings (27%) and robberies (26%).

Yes, crime fell in 2023 over 2022 in five of the seven major crime categories,
including a 12% drop in homicides and 25% in shootings.
But that’s still a 21% rise in murders over 2019.
And these numbers don’t even touch our shoplifting plague, which led the country
from mid-2019 to summer 2023 with a 64% increase (does anyone think it’s gotten
better since then?).
It’s left retailers (those that haven’t closed) locking up goods and their
employees vulnerable to unstable repeat offenders, all efforts to accommodate a
new reality created by progressive indifference to the plight of average New
Yorkers.
And the overall bad vibes that are keeping tourists away from Broadway: 2023
ticket sales are down 17% versus the 2018-2019 season (the last full season per
COVID) — with a big chunk of older visitors from the suburbs, a key demo, saying
they are now staying away for safety reasons.
Adams and NYPD Commissioner Edward A. Caban are fighting the good fight on
crime; this is ultimately a problem caused by the leftist ideologues who
dominate Albany and our own City Council.

What do you think? Post a comment.
But with the NYPD’s ranks shrinking and those lefties looking to pump out more
justice “reforms,” it’s far too early for the mayor to crow “We have turned the
corner of crime in our city.”
