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.

New York’s already seen a massive spike in murders/other crime by juveniles thanks to the laws they’ve already passed.

No, New York City hasnot seen a spike in murders recently when looking at year-to-date data for 2025; in fact, murders have significantly decreased.

Here is a breakdown of the recent murder trends in New York City:

Year-to-Date Decline (2025): Through the first ten months of 2025, New York City experienced historic lows in shooting incidents and shooting victims, and the overall number of murders was down significantly (down 19.6% as of August 2025) compared to the same period in 2024.
Monthly Fluctuations: There was a 33% increase in murders in the specific month of August 2025 compared to August 2024, largely attributed to several high-profile, geographically concentrated shooting incidents. However, officials noted that these monthly "spikes" are relatively small in raw numbers and do not reflect the overall long-term trend, which is a decline.
Long-Term Trend: Murders have been on a general downward trend since a pandemic-era peak in 2020-2021, and current numbers remain a fraction of the historical highs seen in the 1990s.

While some other crime categories like felony assaults and rapes have seen increases in recent years or months, murder and shooting incidents have generally been decreasing in New York City.

It takes almost nothing to check up on anything you say now Dope.
