Papa Bear chronicals the massive improvement in NYC. The experts he spoke with give Police Commissioner Tisch (who's staying w the new administration) much of the credit:

Quiet program to go after gang leaders this year.
More manpower to get dangerous people off of the public transit platforms before something goes awry.

Did Chicago also have a drop? Yes 28%.

Before you start celebrating. The current homicide rate in NYC is 1.6 per 100,000 residents. Chicago after the 28% drop? 7 per 100,000 residents. In the 1990s NYC had a murder rate twice that of Chicago.
