Serious crime spiked again last year to levels unseen in nearly two decades, according to internal NYPD data obtained by The Post — even as Mayor Eric Adams has repeatedly claimed that the city’s rampant unlawfulness is just a “perception problem.”
For the second year in a row under Adams overall crime was on the rise — driven by a historic surge in assaults, which neared 28,000 for the first time in the city’s publicly recorded history, according to the police department’s rolling report.
The report tracks the tally of seven major felony offenses after the time of arrest to when cases move to district attorneys, who decide whether to upgrade, downgrade or stick with the charge. For instance, a perp who punches someone might be charged with a misdemeanor at first, but if the victim’s condition later worsens the prosecutor could boost it to a felony.
The count of major felonies — which include murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, grand larceny and car thefts — are generally used as a benchmark for success year after year.
City Hall has argued it has focused its policing efforts on driving down murders and gun violence, both of which have seen double-digit percentage dips since Adams, a moderate Democrat, became mayor.
Adams, a former police captain, has also called for a tougher criminal justice system, including a crack down on recidivism and bail reform, but appears to have been stymied by the Democratic establishment — in Albany and locally, where the City Council tossed his veto of the “How Many Stops” policing bill.

DENIAL — the LONGEST RIVER
Too bad they can't vote for Rudy.
If they only had Leadership , just a tiny bit ,LOL
Translation of Adams' obfuscation; "Who you gonna believe? Me or your lying eyes?"
Adams must be on Drugs the hard ones
Sounds like Biden told whiner Adams to downplay the crime problem ...... or else.
My ugliness is purely a perception thing. Whenever I tell my date that, they seem to refuse that claim.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams, part of the problem.
It seems that the crime went up proportionally with the increase of ILLEGAL ALIENS.
I’m sure it had nothing to do with bringing in thousands of unemployed, uneducated people some of which have diseases irradicated in this country a hundred years ago.
Don’t mind the maggots!
Years ago there as a judge in NYC that cops called “Turm em loose Bruce”. He was a black judge who considered any black a victim of racist cops and let them go. Cops and pols bitterly criticized him. Bruce got the last laugh though. The NY judicial system is running on his philosophy.
Why is it important to call them INVADERS, what the Left will absolutely NOT call them? Because that is what they are AND the Supreme Law of the Land MANDATES the Federal gov't to STOP INVASION.
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against InvasionUS Const., Art IV, Sec. 4.
BUMP
Yes his token trophies on his mantel is the give away.
