NYC Set Record Low for January Shootings, Victims, NYPD Says

  • The NYPD reported major crime down nearly 7% in January, with burglary falling 27.8% and robbery declining 9.9% year-over-year.
  • At the same time, the NYPD's Hate Crimes Task Force investigated 58 incidents, up 152%, with anti-Jewish hate crimes rising 182% and rape reports increasing to 167 due to law changes.
  • These results, the NYPD said, reflect a focus on building on last year's gains amid high-profile antisemitic incidents like the Jan. 27 assault on a rabbi and Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters vehicle attack.
