The NYPD’s proactive approach to enforcement in recent months has coincided with a decrease in serious crimes.
While many other crimes are down, car thefts are one of the only major crime categories that is up so far this year — even with the increase in police vehicle pursuits. Grand larceny auto has increased 18% compared to this time last year, according to police data.
“There are a couple missing links between low-level enforcement and shootings that are important, and those missing links may matter. But, just as an indicator that cops are doing more, I think that’s huge,” said Peter Moskos, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. In a recent interview about the report, Michael Rempel, the director of the Data Collaborative for Justice, said researchers have found one of the most effective ways to reduce crime is when neighbors and friends send one another messages about what types of behaviors will be tolerated in the community.
