Map of greater Harlem
Greater Harlem, in the northern section of the New York City borough of Manhattan, has historically had high poverty and crime rates.[1]Crime in Harlem is primarily related to illicit activities such as theft, robbery, drug trafficking and prostitution. Criminal organizations such as street gangs are responsible for a significant portion of crime, particularly violent crime. The leading cause of death among young black males in Harlem is homicide.[2] According to a survey published in 2013 by Union Settlement Association, residents of East Harlem perceive crime as their biggest single concern.[3] Greater Harlem has one of the highest violent crime rates in New York City despite significant declines from historic highs.
