What a beautiful thing to report. A significant reduction from 1990's six murders per day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_New_York_City).

Does anyone else think it's odd that that link only records 600 murders in NYC in 2001? I would expect the number to be closer to 3,000.

If you are talking about 9/11, casualties of war & terrorism are not counted for violent crime stats.

While I see your point, that would basically make the statistic useless.
