City That Became Safe: New York's Lessons for Urban Crime and Its Control

By Franklin E. Zimring

Book Overview

The forty-percent drop in crime that occurred across the U.S. from 1991 to 2000 remains largely an unsolved mystery. Even more puzzling is the eighty-percent drop over nineteen years in New York City. Twice as long and twice as large, it is the largest crime decline on record.
