The dog days of summer are truly in July. The NYPD recently released citywide crime statistics for last month and they’re up almost entirely across the board compared to July 2021.
Headlining the report is a 34.3% increase in murders. Robberies and grand larceny saw even bigger jumps. In fact, only rape was down out of the seven major-index crime categories. And only by 7%, a flimsy margin given the historically severe underreporting of sexual assaults.
Gun violence remains an issue, with 21 more shootings this July compared to last. But even with crime spiking in July, the number of murders and shootings decreased this year. According to CompStat, both dipped from 2021 by roughly 10%. Also higher this July are hate crimes, which saw a general 50% increase, with incidents based on anti-Semitism and sexual orientation leading the way and both roughly doubling from last year. But Audacia Ray, director of Community Organizing and Public Advocacy at New York City Anti-Violence Project , says the numbers don’t paint the full picture.
