This book explores New York City's historic crime drop over the
past quarter of a century. New York City's dramatic crime decline
is a real brainteaser: no one predicted it and, as of yet, no one
has explained it, at least to the satisfaction of most social
scientists who study crime trends. Three strategic lessons emerge
from the contributions to this volume on New York's crime drop. It
is suggested that future research should: * go wide by putting New
York in comparative context, nationally and internationally; * go
long by putting New York's recent experience in historical context;
* develop a strong ground game by investigating New York's crime
drop across multiple spatial units, down to the street segment. The
contributors to Understanding New York's Crime Drop aim to provoke
expanded and sustained attention to crime trends in New York and
elsewhere. This book was originally published as a special issue of
the journal, Justice Quarterly.
