But if you write your story based on a narrative, then you\u2019re going to look at the worst of those six crimes and put it on the front pages of your paper every day,\u201d Adams began, first blaming media for creating a narrative that made his city look more dangerous. \u201cSo I have to deal with those six crimes a day, felony crimes, and the perception of fear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adams went on to say that his team had successfully decreased gun violence in the city, claiming that officials had taken \u201cover 5,700 guns\u201d off the streets and made a number of arrests on gun crimes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are attacking the problem exactly the way I stated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re saying that the crime problem in this city is more perception than reality?\u201d Wallace asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, it\u2019s a combination of both. New Yorkers must be safe,\u201d Adams replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Mayor, the New York City crime statistics are that year to date, crime in the subways is up 41% over the same period last year, and serious crime, major felonies, are up even more than that,\u201d Wallace pushed back. \u201cThat\u2019s not perception. That\u2019s reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you do an analysis of the six major cities in America, the crime waves is tackling all of our cities. New York City is the safest,\u201d Adams insisted. \u201cSo yes, we have a real crime problem that we\u2019re addressing. But part of that is the perception that every day, those six crimes are being highlighted over and over again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adams continued to reference the \u201csix crimes\u201d he said were occurring daily within the city\u2019s subway system but did not mention that crime had been ticking upward outside of the public transit system as well. The New York Police Department released <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/site\/nypd\/news\/p00056\/nypd-citywide-crime-statistics-july-2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crime statistics<\/a> in July of 2022 and determined that the city\u2019s overall crime rate was up 30.5% year-over-year.
