“safest January on record” implies that the stats are being compared to the same time period of different years, no? Was this January that much colder than average?
The coldest January since the teens, and this kind of crime always decreases when it’s freezing out. The real measurement is how many crime free days in a row did nyc have?
That makes sense, I was imagining the general ‘feel good’ nature of a charismatic and energetic candidate might have an effect on the public mood, police priorities, and general alertness.
Day to day policing is incredibly far removed from the mayor. There’s multiple career politicians and bureaucrats that would delay any real progress for months.
This is almost entirely due to the fact that January was frigid. It’s pretty well documented that cold temperatures reduce crime.
