NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City, once notorious for high crime, broke a record on Thursday with no murders reported for 10 straight days, police said.

The historic calm achieved at 12:01 a.m. Thursday comes on the heels of a notable year - murders in New York City in 2014 fell to an all-time low of 328, the fewest since the New York Police Department started keeping reliable records in 1963.

I do not believe this. By my count, there were about 2000 murders in NYC in a 10 day period.

Or are the cops just forwarding calls about finding a body to the sanitation department after de Blasio treated them badly?

Even with the cold keeping people inside, a lot times people get a little cabin fever...start driving each other nuts...then a little argument goes ballistic.

Pretty pathetic that 10 days is a record going back so long. That is a lot of murdering.

2024 to be exact... by 2012 standards:

31328 * 100 / 42.4 / 365 * 10 = 2024 murders in NYC in a 10 day period.

Wait for the springtime melt for the bodies to start showing up.

I don't know how they can be sure. It's the middle of February, and there has been a police slowdown.

More likely they haven't found the bodies yet.

Maybe we could get Ohio to give them a farmer’s field to meet on. Keep the innocent folks from catching strays, while the 2015 Darwin contestants could work on “self-deportation” out of this life!
