I'm not surprised the murder rate is down, however I am surprised the overall crime rate is down. My understanding of Bratton's policing style is that you're supposed to crack down on all offenses, early and often. So I would have expected a surge in "crime" as more cases are pursued.
De Blasio can take credit after a little over 2 months of office? Is he a miracle worker? If so, he can take blame for all the negative stuff too.
It's no more ridiculous(and it is ridiculous) than the press blaming him for the supposed increase in crime after 1 month in office,not to mention the lunatic fringe on here harping about how the city was going down the tubes because of the same supposed increase in crime.

I am reserving judgment on Bratton thus far. I was put off at the fact that he had to actually ride a train to know what was happening in our train system...out of touch would be an understatement. Let's see what policies and strategies he implements.
What would you expect from someone who didn't live in the city for a decade? At least he's trying to get a first-hand view of what ordinary people experience.
This is good news, keps in mind this isn't the only cold winter we had. However, I'll wait till the year is over till I pass judgement.
Its not the only cold one - but I don't remember a winter with so many separate snowstorms and so many days of continuous below freezing temps in 20 years.
People have been hibernating.
