Just got the latest crime stats from the 77th pct (North Crown Heights) at the community board meeting last night (7 PM at the nursing home on Classson bet. Park and Prospect - right across the street from Interfaith!)

Here's the deal. Looks like those four deaths in the burning buildings show up as "murder".

2006 2005 %chg.
murder 5 4 + 25.0
rape 5 1 + 400.0
robbery 50 60 - 16,6
felony assault 34 64 -46.8
burglary 45 57 -21.0
grand larceny 47 40 +17.5
gr. larceny auto 27 28 -3.5

All numbers are Year to date.

The meeting was a near riot thanks to the tension around arson deaths on Pacific Street.

Is that the total for 2005 vs. 2006 to date or for the same general time period?
