Crime statistics of New York City neighbourhoods

score:4

Accepted answer

New York crime statistics are available at the the NYPD website under Crime Prevention. You'll find city wide statistics and statistics for each precinctβ€” a map of precincts is also available.

e.g.

Sample crime statistics from the New York Police Department

An alternative point of view would be a visualation of crime, which are typically found by searching for "mash ups", e.g.

After researching it again, I found now a map you can play around with on NYC.gov https://maps.nyc.gov/crime/ containing up-to-date information from crime statistics.

You can change the 'map type' (e.g. check for precinct stats or the crime location with a scatter plot), change the 'Date range' and sort for specific crimes.

As an anactdotaral reference, I can say that this map get updates very soon. For example, a burglary was added within two weeks (validated via the exact location it actually happened).
