A new poll shows that nearly two-thirds of New Yorkers are concerned they could be the victim of a violent crime. And the mayor's approval numbers are falling as a result.
"People are robbing. People are killing people. People are doing a lot of things," one woman told us. "I don't feel safe as we used to."
"I don't feel as safe as I did before COVID-19, especially in the subway, there's a lot more homeless, not as many cops as there should be," another said. "The mayor's office needs to do something about it." The poll shows the public perception of crime in New York City is impacting how New Yorkers feel about the mayor's job performance, according to Dan Levy, the director of Siena College Research Institute.residents rate the job that the mayor is doing as either excellent or good," Levy said.
Data shows crime in some categories is going down but it's not happening fast enough for many New Yorkers."We should always be aware that perception dictates reality," said Janice Johnson Dias, a sociology professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. "If people feel unsafe, then that they're going to operate as if they're unsafe.""I know it's going to take a while before New Yorkers feel safe in this city," Adams said.
