コロナ非常事態のニューヨーク市で犯罪激減。殺人は週8件が1件に。強姦は週33が15に

NYC crime down 25％ in first week of coronavirus shutdown — just one homicide

Crime dropped 25％ in the five boroughs during the coronavirus shutdown last week — with just one person murdered compared to eight the week before, authorities said Monday.

Each of the seven major crimes that determine the overall crime rate — murder, rape, robbery,
felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and grand larceny auto — declined compared to the week before, according to NYPD statistics.

Just one person was murdered in the city the seven days ending Sunday — in Brooklyn — compared to eight the previous week.
Rapes were more than cut in half, from 33 the week before last to 15 last week.
And robberies were down 8%, to 210 from 229.

The crime drop was expected, police sources said, given the streets were almost empty as New York City ground to a near halt in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
