The city recorded a dip in overall crime last month, as well as another double-digit drop in subway crime, NYPD statistics released Tuesday show. 

Overall index crime decreased by 5.7% in November, driven by declines in murder, robbery, burglary, grand larceny and car theft, the NYPD said.

The NYPD logged 28 homicides last month, down 6.7% from the 30 it recorded in November 2023.  Robbery was down 7.4%, from 1,400 incidents recorded last November to 1,296 last month; burglary was down 6.1%, from 1,104 to 1,037; grand larceny was down 9.9%, from 4,192 to 3,775; and grand larceny auto was down 4%, from 1,220 to 1,171. 

The city did see a spike in reported rapes year over year last month, from 112 to 158, and felony assault ticked up 0.2% year over year, from 2,177 to 2,182. 

Shooting incidents also ticked up by 3.1% year over year, with 67 incidents reported last month compared to 65 in November 2023. 

Transit crime, however, was down by 15.8%, with 202 incidents reported last month compared to 240 in November of last year. 

In addition, hate crimes declined by 53% year over year, with 40 incidents reported last month compared to 86 last November. Of the 40 reported incidents, 21 were anti-Jewish incidents, the NYPD said. 

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who took the helm at the department last week, said its mission is “not only to keep New Yorkers safe, but to make them feel safe, and to improve their quality of life.” 

“We are all in this together, and while the downward trends in violence and disorder across New York City are highly encouraging as we enter the final month of 2024, we have a lot more work to do to deliver the public safety that New Yorkers deserve,” Tisch said in a statement.

“This crime reduction directly reflects the relentless effort and dedication of our hardworking women and men in uniform, and I look forward to further successes across all crime categories," she added.
