About
New York
Crime
Rate, Including Murder Rate,
Drops to Lowest Level Since
1960s, According to New FBI
Statistics
New
York City is the safest big city
in the country, according to a
report from the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. The FBI's 2002
"Crime in the United States"
indicates that while crime
increased nationwide, New York
City's crime rate actually
decreased 5% to the lowest level
since the 1960s. In addition, the
city's murder rate dropped 9.6%
in 2002 to reach the lowest level
since 1963.
The
FBI's ranking of New York City as
the safest large city in the
United States means that, of all
American cities with populations
of 1 million or more, New York
City has the lowest rate of total
crime committed.
"These
statistics are terrific news for
New York City's visitor
industry," said NYC & Company
President & CEO Cristyne L.
Nicholas. "With winter
approaching, millions of people
and families from around the
world will consider a trip to New
York City to see its many magical
holiday attractions. New York
City is one of the world's
foremost family destinations and
these new FBI crime reduction
figures reinforce what a safe
place it is to visit."
UPDATE:
According to FBI crime figures
released December 15, 2003 for
the first 6 months of 2003, New
York City remains the safest big
City in the United
States. Year to date, crime
is at its lowest level since
1968. Total crime in the City has
declined almost 5.5% from last
year.
Of
the 210 cities reporting with
populations greater than 100,000,
New York City was ranked 194th,
between Ann Arbor, Michigan and
Orange, California. Of the nine
cities with populations of more
than one million reporting to the
FBI, New York City had the lowest
crime rate during the first 6
months of 2003.
Over
the course of the past year, the
crime rate continued to decrease
from what were already record
lows at the end of 2002. The FBI
reports that New York City's
violent crime rate is down 3.3%
in 2003 compared to a nationwide
reduction of 3.1%, and the City's
property crime rate is down 8.7%
compared to a nationwide
reduction of only .08%.
