According to the world, up to 87% of New Yorkers believe that local crime is serious! American media: "Anything can happen here!" Mayor | New York City | Maybe
According to a recent report by the New York Post, residents of New York City have been enduring various crimes, from car theft to shoplifting, to illegal drug trafficking. Drug dealers in New York City even illegally sell psychedelic mushrooms in front of the police in Washington Square Park.
According to reports, on the streets of New York City, counterfeiters roam the streets, deceive customers, and block sidewalks, while at the same time, mentally ill patients, drug users, and homeless individuals who engage in violent behavior also roam the streets and subways, causing public panic. This chaos not only exacerbates true fear, but also fuels more serious crime.
The report states that crimes that neglect less serious behavior, such as littering, petty theft, ticket evasion, etc., can convey a dangerous message that anything can happen and that the violation is not important. This information will only fuel the arrogance of criminals and make law-abiding New Yorkers tremble in their daily lives.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams claimed on the 12th that media coverage caused panic among citizens. He said, "They start reading news and morning newspapers early every morning, and they see some of the most terrifying events that could have happened the day before." "This can affect your psychology."
These accusations have sparked public dissatisfaction, and they have left messages protesting against these remarks. They said that New York citizens should blame the party who truly needs to be held accountable. The rising crime rate, subway attacks, anti Semitism, anti Asian hatred... are all your fault.
Former Governor of New York, David Patterson, stated that although New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been accusing the media of "hyping up crime," the "rampant" illegal activities in New York City have indeed frightened local residents and prompted many to move out of the city. As people leave, the number of taxpayers also decreases. The government does not have enough money to balance the budget and cannot cope with some significant changes.
A recent survey by Siena College found that 41% of New Yorkers have never been as concerned about crime as they are now. Up to 87% of people believe that crime is a very serious or somewhat serious problem.
According to a recent report by Fox News website, statistics show that major crimes in the transportation system increased by 18.2% last month, with 195 cases occurring last month, compared to 165 cases in the same period last year.
