Crime rates in New York City have been recorded since at least the 1800s. They have spiked ever since the post-war period.[1][failed verification] The highest crime totals were recorded in the late 1980s and early 1990s as the crack epidemic surged,[2][3] and then declined continuously since the mid-1990s and throughout the 2000s.[4]
During the 1990s, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) adopted CompStat, broken windows policing, and other strategies in a major effort to reduce crime. The drop in crimes thereafter has been variously attributed to a number of factors, including these changes to policing, the end of the crack epidemic, the increased incarceration rate nationwide,[2][3] gentrification,[5] an aging population, and the decline of lead poisoning in children.[6]
