Crime in New York State

2019 Final Data

New York State implemented the FBI’s expanded definition of rape in 2015; this resulted in an uptick in violent crime and reported rapes in that year when compared to prior years. As a result, caution should be used when citing or interpreting any percentage changes between rapes reported in 2015 and any subsequent year, to those reported in 2014 and earlier. The FBI made the change to more accurately reflect the scope and volume of sexual assaults nationwide. Before the implementation, those offenses would have been classified by the FBI and state as Part II sex offenses. This report compares Index and violent crime over the 10-year period from 2010 through 2019, but it does not include percentage change comparisons between rape statistics reported in 2010 vs. 2019 because of the expanded definition. Index crimes reported by police departments and sheriffs’ offices to DCJS annually from 2015 to 2019 are online: www.criminaljustice.ny.gov (click the link to Statistics).

Reported Index crime in New York State declined for the seventh consecutive year in 2019, with 335,736 Index crimes reported. This is the fewest number of crimes reported since statewide reporting began in 1975.

The historic low in reported Index crime has resulted in New York’s Index crime rate declining by 25.8 percent between 2010 and 2019.

During that 10-year period, the violent crime rate decreased 8 percent and the property crime rate declined 29 percent. Appendix 1 has additional details.

New York State and the FBI use seven Index crime categories as indicators of overall crime trends: murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault, which are classified as violent crimes; and the property crimes of burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft. The FBI created these categories to allow for uniform crime reporting across all 50 states. This report details 2019 Index crime in New York State, its 62 counties and two regions: New York City and the 57 counties outside of the five boroughs (Rest of State).

Police departments and sheriffs’ offices report Index crime to the Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) through the Uniform Crime Reporting and Incident-Based Reporting programs. This report also details Index crime rates per 100,000 population statewide and by county and region. DCJS uses county population data from the FBI, which is based on U.S. Census estimates, to calculate those crime rates.

Between 2010 and 2019, Index crime declined, with 114,696 fewer crimes reported statewide.

This represents a 25.5 percent reduction in the volume of reported crime over that 10-year period.

Reported Index crime has declined

annually since 2012.

Change in Crime Volume: 2010 vs. 2019

Regional Trends in Crime: 2010 to 2019

Index crimes in the state’s two regions — New York City (five counties, also referred to as boroughs) and Rest of State (57 counties) — declined when comparing 2010 to 2019. The decline in the Rest of State significantly outpaced the decrease in New York City. Between 2010 and 2019, reported Index crime declined 36.9 percent in the Rest of State as compared to 9.6 percent in New York City.

Index crime has decreased annually in the 57 counties outside of the five boroughs since 2010 and in 2019, crime volume in the Rest of State was lower than New York City for the first time since 1997.

The decrease in violent crime in the Rest of State also was significantly greater than in New York City: 19.9 percent vs. 1.4 percent. New York City has seen a significant decrease in homicides during this 10-year period: 40.5 percent. See Appendix 2 for more details.

As noted, the state’s implementation of the FBI’s expanded definition of rape resulted in an uptick in violent crime in both regions from 2014 to 2015. This change resulted in 3,817 additional crimes being classified as rape in 2019; prior to the change, those offenses would have been classified by the FBI and state as Part II sex offenses.
