The paper found that 880 rape cases were reported in the city between Jan. 1 and July 14. During the same period last year, there were 796 rape cases reported, according to NYPD data.
“The rate at which cases are dismissed is increasing. [and] Progressive prosecutorial techniques have led to a rise in the percentage of cases not being prosecuted.”
Jane Manning, executive director of the Women’s Equal Justice Alliance, told The Washington Post that the alarming increase in reported sexual assaults “should be a wake-up call.”
“The NYPD needs to add more investigators to our understaffed Special Victims Unit to thoroughly investigate every case and arrest dangerous criminals,” Manning said.
In March, the New York City Police Benevolent Association released a statement warning that the NYPD was understaffed.
PBA President Patrick Hendry said: News 12“Right now, no one is going to be an NYPD officer for the long term. They’re using it as a stepping stone to something better: a better paycheck, a better pension, a better quality of life.”
The 10th Precinct in Manhattan saw the most notable increase in reported rapes, with a 300% increase, while Midtown South, which includes Times Square, has seen a 111% increase so far this year, according to NYPD statistics.

Rafael Mangual, a criminal justice policy expert and senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, told the Post: “It’s no secret that the NYPD is undergoing a massive downsizing. Because they’re downsizing, when they decide to prioritize something, like subway crime, it makes the higher-ups a little more vulnerable as long as they have more officers underground.”
Mangal also blamed the rise in crime on the state’s “raise the age” laws and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s soft-on-crime policies.
“The rate at which cases are dismissed is increasing. [and] Bragg’s progressive prosecutorial approach resulted in an increased percentage of cases not pursued. [Brooklyn DA] Eric Gonzalez, and [Bronx DA] “Darcel Clark,” Mangual told the paper.
An NYPD spokesperson told the Post, “The NYPD department vigorously investigates each rape allegation and will continue to work to bring justice to victims of these heinous crimes.”

New York City has also seen problems with other nonviolent crimes, such as retail theft, since illegal immigration increased under President Joe Biden’s administration.

He claims that illegal immigrants target his 4,500-square-foot general store up to six times a week, causing him to lose about $3,000 a month.
“It’s impacting our business, it’s impacting our expenses,” Ciacco told the paper. “I don’t know if we can survive this.”
On July 11, a man stole a pallet of Gatorade from Ciacco’s store, he said.
“I called [the NYPD] “I was stopped by the police six times and waited for over eight hours without a single officer coming to help,” he said. “I tried to wave over 30 police cars down the street, but not one of them stopped, didn’t help me or even see what was happening.”
New York’s sanctuary policy has prevented local law enforcement officials from cooperating with federal immigration authorities, but P.J. Reckleitner, the Biden administration’s acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, recently said: He told NBC News Some protected area jurisdictions appear to be reviewing their policies.
“For years, some states and jurisdictions have been very reluctant to negotiate with us because of civil immigration issues,” Reckleitner explained, “and unfortunately, you’ve seen some examples where some individuals have encountered local law enforcement and, because of policies that have been put in place at the state or local level, they’re not allowed to report to immigration authorities. And then all of a sudden, those who are released reoffend.”
“Making fugitive arrests puts citizens at risk because we have to make arrests in neighborhoods. We can’t do that. If we make arrests in controlled environments, everyone is safer. My family is safer, my community is safer and non-citizens are safer,” he added.
