Police figures show major crime on the subways is down 21.5% year to date when compared to the same period in 2022 — with every category of serious felonies but one in the underground system showin…
City subway crime has dropped so far this year to levels not seen in decades aside from the pandemic — as cops significantly ramped up their crackdown on fare evasion, doling out nearly 10,000 more summonses in 2023 than at the start of last year.
Kemper said the start of 2023 saw the lowest levels of felony crime on subways dating back to the beginning of the data-collecting Compstat system in the mid-’90s, if you take out the kickoff of 2021 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, all summonses were up by more than 12,000 — or an 83.5% increase from 15,143 for the same period last year to 27,785 so far this year, the data shows.
“But focusing on quality of life, whether it’s fare evasion, whether it’s disorderly conduct, whether it’s smoking, just setting the tone of law and order in the subway system is absolutely part of the reason,” the chief added.
