New York City ?

NEW YORK (AP) -- The city is on track to have fewer than 500 murders in 2007, the lowest amount in a 12-month period in more than 40 years, according to a published report Thursday.

There were 427 murders logged as of Monday -- 411 killings plus 16 crime victims who died this year from injuries they got years ago, The New York Times reported on its Web site. That makes the city's average slightly more than one per day.

2,250 in 1990.. All Time High.. Murder Capital of the Nation.

How di PNP manage to move the country in the OPPOSITE direction ?

New York reduce from 2250 to 500.. Jamaica increase from 500 to 1,700... over the same period.. what exactly was going on in the 'Dark Ages' ?

It was going down in every large city in the USA for about 20 years, but Giuliani was viewed as the architect of the crime drop. Go figure!

Murder rate rose in'06 in major cities, FBI reports


Oakland Tribune, Jun 5, 2007 by Lara Jakes Jordan, Associated Press

The murder rate dropped in two other big cities, Dallas and Los Angeles. And it plummeted by an overall 11.9 percent in smaller cities, towns and rural areas, the data show.
The growing homicide numbers contributed to an overall 1.3 percent hike in violent crime nationwide in 2006. A year earlier, violent crime rose by
2.3 percent, the first increase since 2001.
FBI Assistant Director Ken Kaiser, speaking to reporters in Washington, said it's too soon to expect a long-term increase in violent crime.
"Am I happy with the increase in violent crime? Absolutely not. I'd have to be a fool to say I was," Kaiser said. "But I would tell you I think (police) are working very hard out there."
Kaiser also noted "dips and rises" in the nation's violent crime rate over the last several decades, and he described some successes in prosecuting and convicting criminals by teams of federal agents working with local and state police.

Does not negate the stupidity of giving credit to Giuliani.
