Dope1: Let's look at more recent stuff, so population variances aren't a thing.

Why? If anything, way more people -- including all those new-to-the-city criminal migrants -- should equal way more crime; but it's just the opposite.

Plus, you copied the wrong data for "robbery"; you copied "felony assault" instead.

But I believe albaby1's point is that in the Grand Old Days of his honor Giuliani, crime was WAY WORSE.

                   OFFENSE

        MURDER & NON-NEGL. MANSLAUGHTER   2000:    673   |  2023:    391

                    RAPE                  2000:  2,068   |  2023:  1,455

                  ROBBERY                 2000: 32,562   |  2023: 16,910
                  
               FELONY ASSAULT             2000: 25,924   |  2023: 27,876

                 BURGLARY                 2000: 38,352   |  2023: 13,773

               GRAND LARCENY              2000: 49,631   |  2023: 50,586

       GRAND LARCENY OF MOTOR VEHICLE     2000: 35,442   |  2023: 15,795

So, murder, rape, robbery, and burglary are significantly less today than in 2000 and auto theft is less than half today than it was in 2000. Felony assault is less than 10% higher today and grand larceny is about the same today as in 2000, a few percent higher.
