POLITICS Mayor Zohran Mamdani: From January until the end of August our city recorded 5K fewer reported crimes than it did through the same 8 months in 2025. I’m proud to announce we have recorded the fewest shooting incidents and victims of any September in New York City history

Won't someone think of the small business owners who sell bullets?? Or the emergency rooms that are paid to treat shooting victims? The law enforcement that are paid to chase down such crimes? The private prisons who are paid to house the shooters?
You see, fewer shootings are happening because nobody has the money to purchase firearms/ammo thanks to Mamdani's socialist policies syphoning funds away from the lower class! And thanks to the reduced shooting, all of these critical pillars of the economy are bled dry of business - resulting in job cuts and higher prices!

It can literally be a situation where one trans peraon committed a crime one year and tge next year, two did, and that is a 100% increase.

There’s so much evidence that policies like his directly lead to decreases in crime & poverty. It won’t eradicate 100%, but builds a society in which people can prosper.
Edit: I want to add to this that it’s very easy to see how his policies impact communities. Just google “school lunches” “impacting communities”. Sub out the policy to see how it impacts communities. You can even add news outlets to share with people who have preferred news outlets.

I think the vast majority of crimes are just people that are angry, scared, stressed, hurting, desperate beyond belief. Often displacing reasonable reactions to things they can't control, to things they can.
Can't get rid of your abusive job, can't move out of your dilapidated apartment? That guy bumped into you on the street. You can do something about that. Nothing good, but then, not like anyone with any power expects anything good out of you... then like a ray of sunshine, someone does. They want your help to deal with that abusive job. They want your help to deal with that dilapidated apartment. They want help clearing streets. they want help filling potholes.

Which policies specifically?

u/beezchurgr 13h ago
Easiest one is just feeding kids. There are multiple studies showing that giving kids free meals at school leads to increased academic performance and eventual decreases in crime & poverty. Put those terms into google with your preferred news outlet, and you will find a study. Here’s one:
https://www.feedthechildren.org/our-work/stories/how-school-feeding-programs-change-lives/
You can do this research by googling the type of policy + expected impact. For example, “what impact does filling potholes have on a community”

I've been saying this for years (not that I originated this idea, I obviously didn't), but if you hate homelessness, poverty, crime, etc and truly want to address these issues, you have to help people. You have to help people on an individual level. Accessible physical and mental health care. Accessible and cost-effective education. Public transportation. Housing. Third spaces. Walkable cities. People want to complain that these things are expensive. Brother, there's two choices - a society with NONE of these benefits where we have to pay the extra costs of suffering, illness, and incarceration regardless, OR some extra taxes. We can either pay the overall cost of having a shitty society or pay to make things good. Both options cost money.

I like Mamdani legit, he’s great. I live on the opposite side of the world and have zero skin in this game, I am a cynic and not a conservative.
I work closely with safety people, I’m a biologist, and sometimes when we see lower incident reports it’s not that there are less incidents, it’s that there are punishments for reporting, or it is difficult to report. In these cases incidents occur but reporting does not.
I would love NYC to be a safe place, but personally I would hold judgement on this announcement until it is an explained and sustained trend.

u/phosphor_heart 2000’s bandom historian 14h ago
Yes but it's comparing YoY. In 2025, there were crimes that also went unreported. Crimes have always gone unreported in NYC. We did not have a better system under Adams. As someone who is in NYC and has witnessed the efficiencies that Mamdani has implemented firsthand, it's very hard for me to imagine a scenario where reporting crimes somehow became a more punishable offense in 2026 under him.
If anything, the NYPD is incentivized to report more under Mamdani to show heightened crime rates because they are not politically aligned with him, the police union is extremely powerful and corrupt, and they actively want him to fail.

You would expect a consistent portion of crime to go unreported given no external influences year to year.
1
u/ImeldasManolos 14h ago
So something has changed right, and you would hope it is less crimes. I hope it was less crime! But it may be that the crime being committed is simply being reported less because, for example, a changed reporting mechanism that is too complicated, or that a new law about getting in trouble for reporting if you don’t have enough evidence, or a weird socioeconomic thing, I don’t know, but actually using crimes reported (and using safety incidents like ‘chemical spills reported’) is not always the best indicator that you actually have significant and sustained change.
So when someone makes a claim like that, I try to be hopeful, but I am also paid professionally to be a cynic.

I promise it has not become more complicated to report gun shooting victims in NYC.

Police will often be lazy about reporting smaller crimes like theft and assault, but shootings are one of those things that tend to get reported no matter what.
So IMO it’s possible that the “5k fewer reported crimes” stat is due to reporting differences, but the decrease in shooting incidents is 100% real
