“We are confident that our work will continue to make a positive impact on this city and improve the lives

Experts say the trend is a result of Mayor Eric Adams’ focus on reducing gun violence — another
pandemic-fueled surge — which has dipped more than a quarter this year compared to 2022, according
to the data.

87% of New Yorkers responded that crime is a very or somewhat serious problem in New York State and New York City,
according to the poll.

Meanwhile, a combined 61% of Empire State denizens in the recent Siena poll admitted they are either
very or somewhat concerned that they’ll be the next victim of a crime.

Adams ran for office on his plan to increase public safety and restore law and order in New York City, according to
reports.

The number rose even higher to 70% among those living in the five boroughs and were asked the same
set of questions.

However, city residents are less afraid that they’ll be the next crime victim than they were last year – 76%
of city dwellers said they’re either very or somewhat concerned they’ll become a crime victim, according to
a June 2022 Siena poll.

ere’s a tip folks, it didn’t get better until the soft on crime crowd was voted out. My guess is
