While overall crime has increased year-over-year in NYC last year and so far this year, the NYPD's CompStat figures show that the Five Boroughs are still far safer now than they were back in 2000.
show that the Five Boroughs are still far safer now than they were back in 2000 — when Republicans held both Gracie Mansion and the Governor’s Mansion.
In fact, 2000 was the high-water mark for every single major crime category but one over the past 21 years.Back in 2000 — when Rudy Giuliani held court at City Hall and George Pataki was in his second term as governor — the city saw 673 homicides. That’s 27.5% higher than the 488 murders the NYPD tallied in 2021, which marked only the third time since 2012 that the city recorded more than 400 homicides in a single year.
Felony assaults and grand larcenies are also down over the past two decades. Rapes — a consistently underreported crime, as the NYPD cautions — are also lower than they were nearly 20 years ago; 1,491 rapes were recorded in 2021, down from the 21-year high of 2,070 tallied in 2003.But 2000 was a generation ago. How did crime in NYC fare in 2021 compared to just a decade earlier? The answer: Still better.
