Interestingly, the pandemic years seem to have caused a sharp rise. I would have expected a fall in they number of cases.

Whatever NYC did from 2006 - 2016 to reduce shootings was clearly working. Since the pandemic the trend has reversed.

That was tied to Stop & Frisk, right?

Yes, that was part of the solution. However it was mostly because of proactive policing approach towards crime from Law Enforcement. It’s actually called “Stop, Question and Frisk”.

The police aren't a fan of the oxford comma

The same could be said for the rest of the nation from the 90s to 2020, so unless NYC saw a sharper drop I dunno if we can really make that assumption

Poverty, uncertainty, loss of jobs etc. I know usa had WAY less relief then Canada at the beginning and in general I think. I would be surprised if it didn't increase. Crimes skyrocketed in my city and are now going down again
