It’s probably a split decade of 75-85. The 80s are probably worse by raw volume, the 70s are probably worse per capita. It all depends on which stats you look at. It also depends on what’s reported. Supposedly, part of Giuliani’s improvement comes from recategorizing crimes into untracked categories. Losing money would also have a delayed effect as the missing funds trickle down
