Crime stats for North Crown Heights

The crime stats are in and they're not looking too good.

For the 77th Pct. which covers Flatbush to Ralph, EPW to Alantic, here's the scoop versus last year year to date

'06 '05
Murder 8 6
Rape 13 3
Robbery 130 166
Felony
assault 115 144
Burglary 96 125
Grand
larceny 128 132
Gr.larceny
auto 68 61

Overall, crime is down 12.4%, according to the precinct.

Looks like rape is having a very bad year, and murder as well.

Interestingly today's NY Times states that crime is down in the city overall, but only by 4.5%, somewhat less than Crown Heights. Murders, on the otherhand, were up in the city overall 12% versus 33% in the 77th pct. Bear in mind that of those murders, three are from the arson on Pacific Street, and were not caused by shooting or stabbing. I'm sure that doesn't make the family on Pacific feel any better but it should make us less afraid of being shot or stabbed.
