"Since the early 1990's, New York has experienced the longest and steepest crime drop in the modern history of policing." What an achievement, what a relief to longtime residents who can probably remember what it was like twenty years ago.
This is New York City crime and it's way down. Murders are down by nearly 80% since that time. 80%!
"The biggest beneficiaries of a dramatically safer New York have been law-abiding residents of formerly crime-plagued areas. Minorities make up nearly 80% of the drop in homicide victims since the early 1990s. New York policing has transformed inner-city neighborhoods and allowed their hardworking members a once-unthinkable freedom from fear."
The people in those neighborhoods are hugely safer. But are they sending a flower bouquet to the chief of police? No. Some are suing the NYPD (see "How to Increase the Crime Rate Nationwide").
