In compstat there’s a weekly, 28 day and year-to-date comparison. The past few weeks actually had a decline in many crimes compared to last year. The year-to-date comparison still indicates double digit increases in many crimes.

Speaking of the media, the media is also liable in exaggerating the opposite narrative too.

Like this Bloomberg article comparing death rates, as if people who are worried about crimes perceive deaths by accidents with a rural equipment as the same as a deaths by a random subway shoving.

I guarantee you the victims of these events percieve them the same way.

Interesting stats! Lots of different breakdowns there. And yep, they can be spun in any direction they want the narrative to go.
