Do you have numbers from before 1990? The late 80s and early 90s were a particularly violent time in NYC.

- Zigurd 13y agoThe 70's were no picnic neither.
- mc32 13y agoI knew relatives who lived in and around Canarsie (Brooklyn) in the 40's --there were more Euro-immigrants there than now. One died from a robber slitting veins in his arms, the other from a stabbing (by strangers in both cases). So it seems to have been a voilent city for much of its history, not just something which came after the WWII boom subsided and sliding into the socio-economic issues of the 60s and 70s. I'm glad to see the city enter a new era of relative peacefulness. Now, I'd like to see the infrastructure upgraded to befit a great modern metropolis.
