New York City is nobody’s idea of a conservative bastion. I believe we can be certain there is minimal racial bias in the NYPD’s statistics. I have for you a link to their data for 2024, the most recent available and very likely representative of recent years.
Whites are the largest population group in NYC, followed by Hispanics followed by non-Hispanic Blacks. However whites are very underrepresented in gun crimes, including murder, shootings, etc. Ditto in sex crimes of various stripes. Blacks are over represented both as perps and as victims. Hispanics somewhat less so.
Someone who has further massaged the data claims the following:
There have been nearly 19,000 suspected shooters recorded in New York City since 2006. Only 1.5% were listed as White.
As a person who has been paying attention, I’d risk a guess you don’t find the above especially shocking. It is the elephant in the room nobody is supposed to mention or admit noticing.
