“Crime drop sets records”

January 25, 2008 by Erin

This post is not meant to scare my mother or my grandmothers, but I just couldn’t resist mentioning it—
There were 496 homicides in NYC last year, which is the lowest number on record since accurate records started being kept in 1963, and a 17 percent decrease from last year. The mayor and police department are excited about the improvement, especially in West Harlem districts like mine. But, in the 100 square blocks around my house, there were 5 murders, 19 rapes, 326 robberies, and 116 burglaries last year. I am sure that it is just me, and just some trick of population density, but those numbers still seem just a touch high.

    Law and Order … NYC
    Law and Order: SVU … NYC
    Law and Order: CI … NYC
    NYPD Blue … NYC

    Coincidence? Probably not

    As a quick lunch time gift, your comments are now aligned correctly again. Now please never want anything center aligned again. Awesome.
    At least your not living in Detroit right…
