Report: Crime Up in Almost Every NYC Precinct, Rate Doubles in Five

Katherine Hamilton 9 Feb 2022

Nearly every New York City Police Department (NYPD) precinct has seen an increase in crime in 2022, and the rate has doubled in five — a more than 100 percent increase, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

According to the publication, which analyzed NYPD crime statistics, 72 out of NYC’s 77 police precincts have seen crime rise this year. Only five are at 2021 levels or have dropped below last year’s rates.

The 110th Precinct located in Elmhurst, Queens, has seen the largest increase in crime as of Sunday, “with a more than 142 percent increase over last year,” the report states.

“The biggest percentage hikes in the precinct were for grand larcenies, with 197 incidents so far this year after just 43 at the same point in 2021; felony assaults, which rose to 59 from 28, and robberies, with 30 this year compared to 18 last year,” the Post continued.

The 26th Precinct in Harlem has seen the second highest crime rate increase, NYPD reporting a 122 percent spike in incidents this year. The jump is largely due to an increase in assaults, grand larceny, and burglaries.

According to the report, the precinct in Manhattan has seen 30 burglaries this year so far compared to seven for the same time frame last year. The area has also seen 29 grand larcenies compared to 15 in 2021, and 15 felony assaults compared to eight last year.
