## Resource

Crime stats show progress in violent crimes—murders down 26%, shootings down 3%, and robberies/burglaries falling—but rapes are up 6% this year. A new, broader definition of rape since September now includes nonconsensual contact, encouraging more reporting, though advocates push for more investigators and prevention efforts. A new assistant commissioner role for gender-based violence aims to improve victim support and officer training, but calls for 200–300 more investigators persist as the city seeks to tackle sexual assault through deeper analysis and smarter strategies.
