Still, the policy may be having an impact on New York’s crime statistics. The city’s Health Department recently reported that gun deaths dropped significantly between 2000 and 2011, the New York Daily News reports Murder rates have fallen everywhere since 2000, many with steeper drops than NYC (8.7/100K in 2000 to 6.3 in 2011). Los Angeles' rate, for example, has been nearly halved - from 14.8 to 7.7.
