Your perception of your own personal safety is not an objective measure of crime and should not form the basis of a policing strategy.

“crime across the five boroughs is nowhere near the levels seen in the 1990s, and while there was a rise in 2022, those figures are already trending down this year.”

FTFY

Reported crime is not an objective measure of crime and should not form the basis of a policing strategy.

When police cease to act on reports of crime, people have no incentive to report crime (except for major property crime which might be covered by insurance, and things like murder).

This is why we can't trust the crime stats where I live (San Francisco).

Your response is logically inconsistent.

>Reported crime [...] should not form the basis of a policing strategy.

and:

>When police cease to act on reports of crime, people have no incentive to report crime.

Logically, then, reported crime should form the basis of a policing strategy, since it creates an incentive to report crime.
