Big Apple\u2019s robberies, the NYPD revealed on Thursday \u2014 as Mayor Eric Adams Warning: Many city kids were heading towards a \u201ccareer in violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During a briefing on last year\u2019s CompStat numbers, Chief This is Crime Control Strategies Michael Lipetri According to the report, 20% of all robbery arrests in the fourth quarter were made using this method \u201cindividuals under the age of 18,\u201d Comparable to 17% for the whole year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder 18, robbing New Yorkers.

The Top two comments discredit the claim in the story that the murder spike was caused by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/01\/05\/nyregion\/new-york-crime-stats.html#commentsContainer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pandemic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The Author attempts to attribute the dramatic rise in murders over three years to the pandemic. WellDespite the fact that the pandemic has ended, the 2022 murder rate is still roughly 50% higher than it was in 2019. And At the height of the pandemic, it was only 7.7% lower than 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Why wasn\u2019t the jump in murders attributed to the rioting in 2020 and loss of respect for others that followed? Or to the subsequent changes in bail and charging policies? The Teens are leading the increase of robberies. They know that there will not be any repercussions for being caught.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Another point that is often overlooked in this discussion, however, is the fact that the pandemic of violence and lockdowns began months before the actual spike in violence. This happened around the same time people started reacting to it. George Floyd\u2019s murder.
