In the initial months of the fiscal year, New York City recorded a 2% decrease in major crime, alongside significant reductions in transit crime (7% drop), car thefts (9%), and other categories of offenses. Mayor Eric Adams emphasized that the administration aims to enhance safety and quality of life for residents. Despite improvements, the city grapples with concerns over severe crimes, leading to intense public scrutiny and demand for continued efforts to ensure overall safety and peace of mind for residents during the fiscal year.
"Our administration is focused on making New York City the best place to raise a family, and that means making our city safer and more affordable, as well as improving quality of life for working-class New Yorkers."
"The data shows that there were fewer victims of major crimes from July to October - and thousands fewer victims of major crimes in the entire year as overall crime was down in 2024."
