The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Murders in NYC in 2023:

2023 386


Hmmm. Interesting data. Let's look at more recent stuff, so population variances aren't a thing.

nyc.gov - Reports analysis

nyc.gov - Seven major felony offenses

They report for murder and non-negligent manslaughter:

2017 - 292
2018 - 295
2019 - 319
2020 - 468
2021 - 488
2022 - 438
2023 - 391

To Boater's point, other crimes are skyrocketing:

Car theft:
2017 - 5676
2018 - 5428
2019 - 5430
2020 - 9037
2021 - 10415
2022 - 13749
2023 - 15795

Robbery:
2017 - 20052
2018 - 20208
2019 - 20698
2020 - 20572
2021 - 22835
2022 - 26063
2023 - 27876

Let's now note 2 key dates:
January 1, 2020: New York's No Cash Bail law goes into effect.
2022- Alvin Bragg takes over as DA

Since 2020 crime has zoomed upwards in NYC. They seem to be getting murder under control but Robbery and car theft are way, way up and are FAR outpacing any population growth that (is not) taking place.
