The second week of July (July 6-12) saw a reversal of the previous week’s (June 29-July 5) rises and falls of crime statistics — the categories that saw fewer crimes last week saw more this week, and vice versa.

For example, the jump in petit larcenies between two weeks prior (June 22-28) and last week dropped again this week. And shootings went from 0 to 2 between last week and this week in the 88th Precinct.

Reported crime fell in the following categories:

  • grand larcenies (from 9 to 5)
  • petit larcenies (from 21 to 9)
  • misdemeanor assaults (from 6 to 3)

Meanwhile, crime jumped in these categories:

  • robberies (from 0 to 1)
  • felony assaults (from 2 to 7)
  • shootings and victims (from 0 to 2 each)

And they stayed the same — one incident each:

  • burglaries
  • auto thefts
  • misdemeanor sex crimes
