New new crime stats released by the NYPD show that the murder rate continues it’s downward trend.
Since 2002 NYC has averaged less than two homicides a day. Not bad for a city of 8 million, highly irritable people.
If the numbers for this year continue their first half trend, NYC will record the fewest number of murders since reliable records started being kept in the early 60s.
An NYU professor credits the reduction in crime to the NYPD’s Operation Impact where they send loads of rookie officers into high crime neighborhoods. That creates a “ripple effect” which effects crime even outside the impact zones.
Oh, and by the way, those rookies that are credited with drastically reducing crime throughout the five boroughs, from a high of 2,245 murders in 1990, their the ones who just had their pay cut to $25k a year and are forced to apply for food stamps to get by. Umm…thanks?
