New NYPD stats released recently demonstrate a positive trend in major crimes across New York City, with a significant decrease in various offenses. However, one concerning outlier continues to persist – the alarming rise in reported rapes, a crime that has historically been underreported.

According to the latest data, murders in the second quarter saw a nearly 14% drop compared to the same period last year. Additionally, burglaries decreased by over 7.8%, robberies by 7.1%, and felony assaults by 2.3%, contributing to an overall 3.46% reduction in major crimes. Transit crimes also saw a decline of 6.4% month-to-month and 1.1% over the second quarter compared to the previous year.

Despite these positive trends, the issue of rape remains a persistent concern. The numbers show a worrying increase in reported rapes, with 517 cases in the second quarter of this year, up from 448 during the same period in 2024. This rise in rapes has been ongoing for several years, with a more than 20% increase this year compared to last year and a significant spike of 33.7% over the same period two years ago.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch addressed the increase in rapes, attributing it in part to a change in state law that broadened the legal definition of rape to encompass a wider range of offenses. She emphasized the importance of accurate reporting and encouraged victims to reach out to the NYPD’s Special Victims Division for support.

Mayor Eric Adams highlighted the success of recent crime-fighting efforts, noting a substantial decrease in shootings compared to previous years. Despite the challenges that summer months typically bring, the city saw a decline in citywide shootings, with June experiencing a nearly 30% reduction in shootings compared to the same month last year.

In addition to the decrease in shootings, hate crimes also saw a decline, particularly in antisemitic incidents, which were down by 18% last month compared to the previous year. Commissioner Tisch credited the success in crime reduction to strategic planning and the dedication of NYPD officers.

Overall, the data reflects a positive trend in crime reduction across New York City, with a few persistent challenges that require continued attention and resources. By addressing these issues head-on and working collaboratively with communities, law enforcement officials aim to create a safer environment for all residents.
