In 2001, all categories of major crimes were higher than in 2021. But in February of that year, a poll found just 36% of New York City voters described crime as a very serious problem, compared to 74% of voters in February 2022.
Ekim Kaya, a tech entrepreneur and car fanatic, was driving his Lamborghini to the Manhattan Classic Car Club one evening a couple of years ago when a scooter sideswiped him on the West Side Highway. Kaya got out, expecting to exchange information. Instead the two young men on the scooter assaulted him, and stole his $240,000 car.
And Kaya, who lives in Tribeca, said he now avoids driving in the city. He said he’s concerned about all crimes, not just carjackings, and he asks his fiancé not to use the subway.But Kaya admitted he’s not just afraid of crime because he was a victim. It’s not even just because of the spike in violent crimes in New York City since the onset of the pandemic.
But what has increased perhaps more than crime is the fear of crime. In 2001, all categories of major crimes were higher than in 2021. But in February of that year, just 36% of New York City voters described crime as a very serious problem, a Quinnipiac University poll found.
