It's got a long way to slide. The annual murder totals during the Koch/Dinkins years got as high as 1300+. Compare the 539 to the Philadelphia total of 400+ in a city an eighth the size of NYC. I consider the (relatively) extremely low murder totals a Giuliani legacy.

1300? not even close.
2350 murders under Dinkins as mayor of NYC in his worst year.

When Rudy became Mayor the murder rate was 2200 the year before!
He got it down to about 600.
