Summer in New York City ended on a high-note thanks to the low number of murders and shootings in August.
On Sept. 6, the NYPD released last month’s citywide crime statistics, proudly announcing the number of killings were less than half of August 2021’s count, falling from 59 to 27.
“Throughout these months, the NYPD carried out more of its integral work, often in concert with our law enforcement partners, to develop long-term investigations focused on those few New Yorkers willing to pick up guns and use them.” This news comes as a welcome after July’s crime numbers skyrocketed in almost every category. But there’s still room for improvement. Every other major crime was up compared to August 2021 except rape, which matched last year’s exact count. There were 449 more robberies and 322 more burglaries.
Credited for the decrease in shootings and murders by the NYPD are larger police presences, summer programs…and illegal ATV seizures. When recently asked about how tougher enforcement could lead to mass incarceration for people of color, Mayor Eric Adams doubled down, even arguing a correlation between fare evasion and gun violence during his time as a police officer.
