Debating Crime and Politics in New York
TL;DR Summary
Some Republicans have accused Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of enabling a crime wave in New York, but experts say crime rates in the city have been decreasing. While some New Yorkers are alarmed about crime, others feel safe. Last year, there were 438 murders in New York, compared to nearly 2000 a decade ago. Crime rates have been dropping since the 90s, but an increasing percentage of shootings are by and against young people, which is a nationwide problem.
