Default NYC murder rate at all-time low

Pretty striking to see murders in Chicago, with a third the population, surpassing those in New York City.

GREAT news!!

I think this just shows that NYC is far classier than Chicago.

You all should read "Freakonomics" they have good insight into this, and it has nothing to do with Guiliani..

BBBBBWAAAAHHHHHH.

What about the RASCISMSSSS????? Wheres the outcry you bleeding hearts?

So now its OK?

Quote:
In a statement, Mr Kelly attributed the decline to the increasing use of stop-and-frisk, a controversial tactic where police can stop and search people on the street they consider suspicious.
"We're preventing crimes before someone is killed and before someone else has to go to prison for murder or other serious crimes," he said.


Civil rights groups and some local politicians have criticised the practice, saying that most people stopped turn out to be innocent, and that it unfairly targets black and Latino men.

The crime rate statistics for NYC are suspect at best, the police force has a history of manipulating them for political purposes.

No, NYC is legitimately in better shape than it was 20+ years ago. There are several factors involved in that.

Maybe NYC is in better shape and maybe NYC's homicide rate is at the lowest levels ever.

It doesn't change the fact that crime statistics are being manipulated for political reasons and should be treated as suspect.

NYC murder statistics have not been manipulated though. And that is the topic of this thread.
