Crime in New York State
2013 Final Data This report and the attached appendices provide the most recent information available on the number of Index crimes and rates per 100,000 population for each county in New York State. County population data are provided every year by the FBI based on U.S. Census estimates and are used to calculate crime rates. Crime counts are based on official crime reports submitted to DCJS through the Uni-form Crime Reporting (UCR) and Incident Based Reporting (IBR) programs. Index crimes include the violent crimes of murder, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault, and the property crimes of burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft. Because of their seriousness and frequency, these crimes are used by DCJS and the FBI as indicators of overall crime trends.
The summary includes information on crimes re-ported in New York State for the last 10 years. These figures include all reports received by DCJS as of November 4, 2014. They differ slightly from those published by the FBI; the FBI reports include estimations for agencies with incomplete reporting, and exclude data submitted after FBI deadlines.
Detailed information on crime data for each report-ing agency from 2009 through 2013 is available on the DCJS website: www.criminaljustice.ny.gov/crimnet/ojsa/stats.htm
New York State has experienced significant declines in both the crime rate—or the number of Index crimes per capita—and the crime volume—the total number of Index crimes reported over the past decade.
Over the past 10 years, the overall rate of Index crimes per 100,000 residents declined 15%. The rate of violent crimes (murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault) fell 11% and property crimes (burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft) were down 16%. The largest reductions in crime rates were reported for motor vehi-cle theft, murder and forcible rape (see Appendix 1 for a statewide, annualized comparison of crime rates).

While New York State’s crime rate has de-creased over the past 10 years, New York has also reported a significant reduction in the ac-tual number of crimes reported. The number of Index crimes reached the lowest levels ever recorded statewide in 2013, when there were 68,297 fewer crimes reported than in 2004. The state’s population increased by approxi-mately 270,000 residents during the same time period.
Change in Crime Volume: 2004 vs. 2013
Trends in Regional Crime: 2004 to 2013
Counties in the state’s two regions—New York City (five counties) and non-New York City (57 counties)—experienced similar de-clines in Index crime over the last 10 years.
The number of Index crimes reported in New York City fell 14.3% between 2004 and 2013, while the rate of decline was 13.1% in the rest of the state. The counties outside of New York City accounted for 55% of the re-ported crime statewide, and almost 60% of the property crime reported in 2013.
The decline in violent crime over the last 10 years was nearly three times greater outside New York City (-15.8%) than in New York City (-5.9%).
Counties outside New York City have re-ported a steady decline in violent crime since 2006. New York City reported increases in violent crime between 2009 and 2012 but re-ported a slight decline in 2013. New York City now accounts for 68.5% of the violent crime reported in New York State (See Appendix 2).

Trends in Violent Crimes by Firearm
The Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) collects data from law enforcement regarding the number of reported violent crimes that involved the use of a firearm. Between 2012 and 2013, violent crime involving firearms decreased in New York City by 8.4% with 684 fewer crimes reported. During the same time period, violent crimes by firearm outside New York City decreased by 3.0% with 147 fewer crimes reported (See Ap-pendix 5).
Regional Trends in Homicide
The total number of homicides has declined 28% when comparing 2004 to 2013. In the past four years, the decline has been more significant: homicides are down 26%. Since 2010, the number of reported homicides has declined every year. Homicides by firearm also decreased by 27.5% over the past 10 years and by 30% since 2010. This is driven primarily by homicide decreases in New York City (See Appendix 6).
