The broader concern here is not only officer safety, but how violence in everyday public spaces changes community perceptions of security. That broader framing is an inference based on the reported setting and nature of the attack.

I love how quickly the local San Francisco Bay Area media has pivoted from a sky-is-falling-crime-is-out-control-hide-yo-kids-hide-yo-wife narrative that dominated the news over the last few years to a very reasonable, data-driven it-actually-isn't-that-bad editorial line.

The New York Times, which I was taught, in college in the 90s, is the "paper of record" for the US, disappoints me nearly every day, especially in crime reporting. Today's exhibit: uncritical reporting on the governor & mayor announcing a 16% drop in crime in the subway system after a massive increase in police presence & enforcement. The Times writes what could be a press release for local & state gov't instead of news reporting, fawningly quoting how crime has been reduced by 16%.

They mention the budget cost ($62mil) but not the disproportionate increase in enforcement -- I had to turn elsewhere to learn that arrests were up 43% with a 93% increase in arrests for "minor crimes" and a 170% increase in fare evasion enforcement. Given that the NYT does point out that, even at its recent peak, subway crime is rare for all riders, it seems reasonable to question whether the direct spending on cops, the indirect costs of increased prosecution & incarceration, the opportunity costs of not having police elsewhere, and the impact of all this enforcement on, largely, the poorest of New Yorkers is a reasonable tradeoff for what is, in absolute terms, a very small decrease in crime. And, of course, the paper doesn't begin to raise the question of whether or not there might be a more effective approach.

New York Officials Say Subway Crime Is Down After Boost in Police

Data shows major crimes have dropped 16 percent in the three months since more officers were assigned to the system, the governor and mayor said.

When will Marty Weil and his editor get onto Mastodon so we can discuss with them this excellent Pulitzer-level journalism? (Make sure you click on the photo to read it all.) #WashingtonPost #stenography “#CrimeReporting”
