I grew up in Brooklyn and when I go to areas I use to go that were crime ridden, it amazes me the changes. The figures may not be 100% but the drop in crime since the mid 90's is large

I am sure it is, NY was in the midst of a crack cocaine epidemic in the 80's and 90's.

However this diesn't mean that the stats are correct, Brooklyn may be safer, but the Police and Bloombergs figures don't add up.
