Crime in New York State

2016 Preliminary Data
New York State and the FBI use seven Index crime categories as indicators of overall crime trends: murder,
rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, which are classified as violent crimes; and the property crimes of bur-
glary, larceny and motor vehicle theft. The FBI created these categories to allow for uniform crime reporting
across all 50 states. This report details 2016 Index crime in New York State, its 62 counties and two regions:
New York City and the 57 counties outside of the five boroughs (Rest of State).
Police departments and sheriffs offices report Index crime to the Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS)
through the Uniform Crime Reporting and Incident Based Reporting programs. This report also details Index
crime rates per 100,000 population statewide and by county and region. DCJS uses county population data
from the FBI, which is based on U.S. Census estimates, to calculate those crime rates.

Regional Trends in Homicide 2015 vs. 2016

Homicides increased (+1.8%), driven exclusively by a 10.5 percent increase (294 vs. 266) in homicides
reported in the 57 counties outside of New York City. Homicides in the five boroughs decreased 4.8 percent
(335 vs. 352). See Appendices 1 and 2 for more details.

Despite the statewide increase, there were significantly fewer homicides when comparing 2007 to 2016: 808
vs. 629, a decrease of 22.2 percent. Homicides by firearm showed a similar trend, declining 26.2 percent.

The number of non-firearm related homicides also decreased (-15.4%) when comparing 2007 to 2016, but
there was a notable increase between 2015 and 2016 (+12.2%). It is important to note, however, that non-
firearm related homicides reached an all-time low in 2015, with 230 reported.

Notes: NA indicates that the percentage change is not applicab le b ecause the count in 2015 was zero.

Index and violent crime totals for 2015 and 2016 include the numb er of rapes reported under the expanded definition.

*Schenectady Police Department identified a discrepancy in the numb er of crimes sub mitted to DCJS in 2015 that was not resolved b y the
pub lication of this report. As a result, the numb er of Index crimes for Schenectady County may b e lower than the actual numb er of offenses
reported to law enforcement in 2015 and caution should b e used when comparing those numb ers to 2016 statistics.
