Well there are other factors people should consider as well before they get too cocky walking around the city. NY still has a higher violent crime rate than Denver and even LA. Robbery and aggravated assault rates are higher in NY. There's also the random slashings in the city. There were 381 slashings and stabbings in about a month. Some were even in Midtown Manhattan.
And if you were to go off metro area NYC's robbery rate is twice Denver's.
Yep...people are basically extremely cautious with the murder game in NYC...stop and frisk made it essentially a police state in many NYC communities...although IMO a bad policy overall, stop and frisk forces criminals to leave their guns at home because the probability of an interaction with the police is much higher than the possibility of getting involved with a situation where a gun is needed...a lot more thought is put into that aspect of street life in NYC now
Overall Crime is up in alot of cities compare same time last year NYC, Chicago for etc.
Murders are down in NYC
