Here’s a hopeful report: Crime in Brooklyn North precincts—which cover East New York, Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and Brownsville—is down by more than 3 percent so far this year, according to the Daily News, with the murder rate 20 percent lower than in 2007 and burglaries down by 12 percent. There have been nine fewer murders in East New York in 2008 than there were at this point in 2007. The neighborhood had the highest number of murders, 31, in the city last year. There’s also been a 12 percent crime reduction in Bed-Stuy and a 10 percent decrease in Crown Heights. The NYPD says the city’s decision earlier this year to have more rookie cops patrolling the streets of high-crime neighborhoods has led to the declines.

This is why The What is a total bore – 1st of all sure crime statistics can be manipulated but the motivation for manipulation always existed and therefore changes in macro numbers do have some reliability – additionally – you can’t fudge a dead body – homicide statistics are about an accurate measure as you will find.
Second, while I am all in favor of vigorous prosecution of White Collar Crime – it doesnt leave you batter, bruised or dead, or afraid to leave your apartment and enjoy going to the park or subway – so such comments are kinda dumb and definitely irrelevant.
But I know The What has his agenda to promote so I guess we’ll all have to tolerate his commentary.
