Overall crime in New York City decreased by 3% in 2024, with significant drops in murder and major crimes, but rises in rape and felony assault incidents were noted.
'It's all part of a strategy to refocus our subway efforts to the places where the crime is occurring... 78% of transit crime occurs on trains and on platforms.'
The NYPD Commissioner noted that the increase in rape incidents was partly due to the broader definition of rape established on September 1, 2024.
Tisch expressed her frustration, stating, 'Imagine how disheartening it is for our cops to be out there arresting the same people for the same crimes...'.
