The city saw a slight decrease in overall crime for the first time in 2022 last month, but murders jumped by 20% compared to the same time last year, according to data released Monday by the NYPD.

Overall crime dropped by 1.2% due to a 14.1% decline in reported rapes, a 6% decline in burglaries and a 5.5% decline in grand larcenies, the NYPD said.

Citywide shooting incidents also declined by 32.8% year-over-year, with 80 shootings logged last month compared to 119 in November of 2021, the data shows. Northern Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx saw the most significant declines in shootings, police said.

Murders, however, rose year-over-year, with 30 homicides recorded last month compared to 25 during the same month last year, the NYPD said. But the department said citywide murders year-to-date were still 11.1% lower than they were last year, with 393 homicides logged between January and the end of November compared to 442 during the same period last year.

“As we near the end of this year, our department is seeing substantial, tangible progress toward our public-safety goals – and that is because of the dedicated work of our exceptional officers and civilian members,” NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said in a statement. “Their work has yielded positive results, with major crime down in the month of November 2022 compared to the same period last year.”

Additionally, the city’s transit system saw a 12.8% decline in major crime year-over-year, with 205 crimes recorded last month compared to 235 in November of 2021, police data shows.

Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a joint effort in late October to increase public safety on the city’s transit system. The initiative added about 1,200 additional NYPD and MTA officers working overtime shifts at over 300 stations every day, adding up to about 10,000 more patrol hours daily.

“As we enter the second full month of our Transit Safety Awareness Campaign, major crime in our transit system has begun to decline – a strong indication that our officers and strategies are making a real difference in the everyday lives of New Yorkers,” Sewell said.

Robberies, felony assaults and grand larcenies auto ticked up 3.6%, 3% and 9.4%, respectively, last month compared to the same time last year, the NYPD’s data shows.

Hate crimes, meanwhile, surged last month compared to the same time period last year, with the city seeing a 70% increase, from 44 to 75.​
