Subway crime hits 37 year low!

Posted on September 25th, 2006 by The SUBWAYblogger in Crime, Scary People, This just in

Subway crime is at the lowest it has been in 37 years!  Even though we tend to hear about the crimes more often, the numbers actually show that things are much better.

Through the mass media and NYC blogs (like this :-) ), people tend to hear more about the crimes throughout the system.  However, as the Daily News reports, things are looking up.

Did you know…

Today, there are about 7 felonies committed every day in the New York City subway. 

Back in 1990, there were 49 a day! 

So, obviously the situation is much better.  You’ve also got to figure that 7 felonies doesn’t necessarily mean 7 felons.  One guy could commit a few felonies at once.  All he’s gotta do is rob someone at gunpoint (felony #1) and then punch the arresting officer as he tries to get away (felony #2). 

A lot of the improvements also have to do with big brother.  That’s right, you are on camera.  There are more cameras today in the subway than ever before.  In out post 9/11 times, the MTA has been installing new cameras all over the subway.  This makes apprehending suspects easier.  As soon as you start rounding up your repeat offenders through video tape, the crime levels are sure to show a dip.

Check out Gothamist too.  They have a cute little graphic that spells out S-A-F-E-R in subway line letters.

    One thing I’d like to say is the fact car insurance cancelling is a feared experience and if you’re doing the proper things like a driver you simply won’t get one. Lots of people do have the notice that they have been officially dropped by their insurance company they have to struggle to get additional insurance from a cancellation. Inexpensive auto insurance rates are often hard to get after the cancellation. Having the main reasons for auto insurance termination can help individuals prevent sacrificing one of the most crucial privileges accessible. Thanks for the ideas shared by your blog.

    Thanks for this article. I will also like to talk about the fact that it can always be hard when you find yourself in school and merely starting out to create a long credit rating. There are many scholars who are just trying to make it through and have a protracted or beneficial credit history can often be a difficult factor to have.

    Thanks for the tips on credit repair on this excellent site. The things i would offer as advice to people would be to give up the mentality that they may buy at this point and pay out later. Like a society many of us tend to try this for many issues. This includes vacation trips, furniture, as well as items we want. However, you’ll want to separate your own wants from all the needs. When you are working to boost your credit score actually you need some trade-offs. For example you’ll be able to shop online to save cash or you can click on second hand retailers instead of high-priced department stores regarding clothing.

Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too? This may be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen before. Cheers

    I figured out more something totally new on this losing weight issue. Just one issue is a good nutrition is highly vital whenever dieting. A tremendous reduction in bad foods, sugary food items, fried foods, sugary foods, pork, and whitened flour products may perhaps be necessary. Retaining wastes unwanted organisms, and wastes may prevent objectives for losing belly fat. While specific drugs temporarily solve the situation, the bad side effects will not be worth it, plus they never supply more than a short-term solution. It is a known indisputable fact that 95% of fad diets fail. Many thanks for sharing your notions on this site.

    I would like to add if you do not already have an insurance policy or else you do not belong to any group insurance, you could well take advantage of seeking aid from a health agent. Self-employed or people who have medical conditions ordinarily seek the help of an health insurance broker. Thanks for your blog post.

    Also a thing to mention is that an online business administration program is designed for college students to be able to efficiently proceed to bachelors degree education. The Ninety credit certification meets the other bachelor education requirements and when you earn your associate of arts in BA online, you’ll have access to the modern technologies with this field. Several reasons why students want to be able to get their associate degree in business is because they may be interested in the field and want to get the general training necessary prior to jumping into a bachelor diploma program. Thx for the tips you provide in your blog.
