Types of crime that saw fewer numbers this week, compared to [last week](/blog/2015/03/24/88th-precinct-crime-statistics-slight-uptick-reported-crimes-march-9-15/), were rape (down to 0 from 1), robbery (down to 2 from 3), burglary (1 from 2), and auto thefts (1 from 7). This week’s data reversed the increases seen last week from the [previous week before that](/blog/2015/03/17/88th-precinct-crime-statistics-drop-grand-larcenies-many-crimes/).

Slight upticks were seen in felony assaults (up to 3 from 1) and grand larcenies (up to 5 from 3).

Also seeing increases this week were the crime categories of transit (up to 1 from 0), housing (up to 2 from 0), petit larceny (up to 15 from 12), and misdemeanor assault (up to 7 from 6).

Only misdemeanor sex crimes didn’t see an increase — although that just means it stayed the same, at one reported incident this week.

What could be triggering the increases? Warmer weather? Regular ebbs and flows of crime?
