FYI. Hope Adams will be able to turn things around. Though, I remain skeptical.

New York City crime statistics remained elevated in November relative to last year amid a nationwide uptick in crime, NYPD statistics released Wednesday show.
In November, index crimes, a metric that includes murder, rape, felony assault and four categories of theft, were 21.3% higher than the same period last year. Overall, those index crimes are up 4% year-to-date over 2020, according to CompStat.
Murders declined 17.2% in November 2021 compared to November 2020 (from 29 to 24), and burglaries were down 5.7%, but all other index crimes, including rape and robbery, increased.
Hate crimes are up by 93.1% year-to-date compared with last year, and sex crimes besides rape are up 29.1%.
The only crime statistics tracked by CompStat that are down year-to-date over last year are burglaries, down 19.5%, and transit crimes, down 2.8%. Transit crimes, however, more than doubled in Nov. 2021 compared to Nov. 2020.
Police Commissioner Dermot Shea added that 10% of the NYPD’s arrests currently are of children illegally possessing guns, a figure he said was at 1.8% last year.
Meanwhile, Shea and Mayor Bill de Blasio chose to highlight an overall drop in major crimes during the mayor’s eight-year tenure at a news conference Wednesday.
