The five boroughs saw a 5.6% drop in overall major crime year over year last month, with murder down by 46.7%, the NYPD said

Citywide, robbery was down by 12.4%, burglary down by 17.3%, grand larceny down by 1.3%, grand larceny auto down by 14% and reported rape down by 4.8%, while felony assault ticked up by 1.5%

Transit crime declined by 24.8% year over year, while shooting incidents were down by 19.1%

That figure tied 2018 for the lowest November since the NYPD began tracking data via CompStat in 1994, the agency said, noting that neither Queens nor Staten Island recorded any murders.

Citywide, robbery was down by 12.4%, burglary down by 17.3%, grand larceny down by 1.3%, grand larceny auto down by 14% and reported rape down by 4.8%, while felony assault ticked up by 1.5%, according to the data.

Transit crime declined by 24.8% year over year, with 222 incidents reported in November 2024 compared to 167 last month. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said November was “the safest November on our subways outside the pandemic period.”

Shooting incidents, meanwhile, were down by 19.1% — from 68 logged last November to 55 logged this November.

Tisch said the first 11 months of 2025 saw the fewest shooting incidents and shooting victims of any January through November in the CompStat era, with 652 incidents and 812 victims recorded.

The last recorded low for that time frame was in 2018, when the city saw 696 shooting incidents and 828 shooting victims, the NYPD said.

“These historic gains are the result of our precision policing strategy and officers executing that strategy with the discipline and dedication that defines this noble work,” Tisch said in a statement. “Our plan is working, the progress is real, and I’m grateful to Mayor Adams for providing the tools that make these public-safety gains possible.”

Retail theft was also down by 20.1% year over year last month, according to the NYPD, due in part to police monitoring “high propensity locations” during times known to have higher rates of theft.

Hate crime incidents, however, were up 50% last month, with 54 incidents reported compared to 36 in November 2024, NYPD data shows.

Twenty of this year’s incidents were anti-Jewish incidents, compared to 21 in November 2025, the NYPD said, while five anti-Muslim incidents were reported last month compared to one in November 2024.
