It's not just media coverage, although that is a narrative being pushed. For instance, this Bloomberg article tries to paint that narrative: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2022-is-nyc-safe-crime-st...

However, if we look at the NYPD data [0], you can see that rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny, and car theft are all up by 14.4%, 34.4%, 25%, 2.2%, 45.3%, and 52.7% respectively over the last 2 years. Over the last 12 years, rape is up 22%, felony assault is over 50%, grand larceny up 37% and car theft up 30%.

How can you look at this data and say this is just a media narrative?
