Why Has New York City Defied the Great American Crime Decline?
Crime is falling across the US, with the monthly totals through March published by the Real Time Crime Index showing violent crime back roughly at pre-pandemic levels while property crime is much lower. The violent crime decline appears to have accelerated over the winter. 1 Crime has also been falling lately in the country's largest city. But the recent drop comes after years of increases, and crime remains much more prevalent in New York City than it was before the pandemic. Real Time Crime Index numbers are available only by state, but New York City represents 94% of the state population covered in these statistics, so they are a close enough approximation.

WPS release updated crime statistics
The Windsor Police Service (WPS) has released new statistics. In 11 of the past 13 weeks, Windsor police say response times to priority one calls have been eight minutes or less. Those calls involve immediate danger, bodily harm, or potential death. Stats show the amount of violent crime in the city is up four per cent, but property crime stats are down 16 per cent. Windsor police categorize 61 per cent of all violent crimes in the city as assaults, and 37 per cent of them are related to intimate partner violence. In a positive turn, more victims are turning to police for help to help break that cycle. 'We're seeing an increase since COVID, and it's the only thing that never really came down after COVID. So, it's a giant concern for us, obviously, the safety of people is a big thing, and we're always trying to do new things. So right now we're with something, about to be rolled out again. And we'll look forward to it. So hopefully that changes things for us,' said Deputy Chief Jason Crowley.
