0:39Now PlayingSix major cities nationwide, including New York and Los Angeles, are already on track to surpass last year’s staggering rates of violent crime, data shows.
Reports of homicide, rape, assault and robbery are on pace to break 2021 levels halfway through the year – with a 25.8% surge in violent crime in the Big Apple atop the list, according to a review of NYPD statistics.
A total of 189 murders have been tallied in New York City as of Sunday, the latest date of available data. That’s down more than 13% from 218 on the same date a year ago, but rapes, robberies and felony assaults are all up: 15.4%. 39.7% and 19.6%, respectively.
Altogether, the 19,972 reports represent an increase of nearly 26% from 2021 levels, data shows.
Violent crime is also up in Washington DC, where a 12% increase in such attacks was tallied thus far in 2022 compared to the same span a year ago, according to Fox News.
