The NYC Crime Map is an interactive map produced by the City which lets you play with crime data per precinct.

Crime data is provided in map format for the, “seven major NYS Penal Law felonies” (Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Rape, Robbery, Felonious Assault, Burglary, Grand Larceny and Grand Larceny Motor Vehicle. Attempted crimes are recorded as that crime with the exception of Attempted Murder which is recorded as a Felonious Assault.) A crime map can be presented cumulatively year to date, previous year cumulative and by any specific month in either period. The opening and default map views are of the most recent full month count of all seven major crimes.

The map is updated frequently, but runs about 2 months behind the current date as police reports are collected, filed and digitized pretty slowly. How safe is your neighborhood?

Good afternoon! Wishing you a happy Tuesday, June 7th, 2022 from all of us at Viewing NYC!

Here's what the weather looks like in the City right now.

An ex-correction officer lifts the veil on the violence and dysfunction behind one of America’s most notorious jails housing inmates awaiting trial for murder, robbery and rape.

Having worked at Rikers jail for two years, the Informer shares the demoralizing working conditions, corruption and sexual harassment – all for just doing her job.

She reveals that regular cell tours turn ugly as inmates routinely pull out their penis and masturbate over her. One incident involves an inmate forcibly ripping a colleague's duty belt off to get into her pants. Drugs, weapons and alcohol are rampant as officers are selling them for quick cash, putting the Informer’s life at risk.

After trying to quit nearly four times to “stay in the fight”, she hits rock bottom and hands in her badge at a time when a mass exodus of staff were quitting too.
