NYC homicide remains 20% above pre-pandemic levels — even as national average drops below
New York City’s homicide rate remains higher than it was before the pandemic in 2019 — even as the national average has largely returned and even dropped below pre-pandemic levels, a major new national crime study has found.
Homicide rates are up about 20% through the first half of 2024 compared to the same time in 2019, the Council on Criminal Justice’s (CCJ) newly-released Mid-Year Crime Report found.
