Times Square is the most dangerous place in New York
NY has a government website where you can track the number of crimes committed in areas of the city. The most dangerous areas were, as expected, the most densely populated and tourist areas of the city. The main crime is theft. Times Square ranks first in terms of the number of crimes committed. The Bronx is located in the second place - a large number of crimes are committed in almost all its areas. There is also an interesting web application on the NYPD website. In it you can see what crimes were committed in the city over the past year. Moreover, the NYPD will show you the crime scene on the map. I was very interested in using this service. Looks like some kind of police reporting to the people.
On the website you can also see the number of crimes by category and track the dynamics. For example, thefts in South Brooklyn fell 12,5% over the past year, while violent assaults in southern Manhattan increased 19% year over year. The most common crime in New York was theft. For example, a car or a bicycle. Over the past year, about 10000 such crimes were committed in the city.
I would like to note that recently the number of murders has decreased significantly by 17%, to 72 murders per year. The number of rapes has also decreased. In my opinion, one of the safest areas of New York is the southwestern areas of Brooklyn - the least amount of crime occurs there.
