7 On Your Side Investigates uncovered the top crimes being reported underground and how likely you are to become a victim.
A group of tenants in the Bronx called 7 On Your Side after a homeless man was living in the stairwell of their building for the past two years.We found crime has increased underground this year, but so has the number of riders, with ridership creeping back up closer to pre-pandemic levels.
The average ridership so far this year is more than 2,488,000 people, compared to 1,482,882 at the same time period last year. 7 On Your Side found the top precincts where subway crime is happening or has been reported. They include the 14th Precinct, which encompasses the Times Square area, and other precincts covering a section of east Brooklyn, the Union Square area, downtown, and a section of the Bronx.
"I think a lot of us who are studying crime are starting to get a little worried," said Chris Herrmann, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice."One of the reasons we're seeing these numbers go up exponentially is because the numbers last year were so low, we had so many people not riding the subway, not taking it to school, not taking the subway to work."
7 On Your Side also found the top three crimes being reported so far this year, and they've all increased since last year."The subways and buses are safe, you just have to watch out for what's going on," said Robert Paaswell, a professor at the City College of New York and the former director of the Chicago Transit Authority.
