An Analysis of Quality-of-Life Summonses, Quality-of-Life Misdemeanor Arrests, and Felony Crime in New York City, 2010-2015
The Department of Investigation's (DOI) Office of the Inspector General for the New York City Police Department (OIG-NYPD) independently examined what, if any, data-driven evidence links quality-of-life criminal summonses (C-summonses) and misdemeanor arrests to a reduction in felony crime. The OIG-NYPD Report focused on data from the past six years and found no evidence demonstrating a clear, direct link between an increase in summons activity and a related drop in felony crime. In fact, the study showed quality-of-life summons activity between 2010 and 2015 dramatically declined with no increase in felony crime. Furthermore, with few exceptions, deeper analysis of specific summons categories and specific patrol boroughs revealed no correlation over time to any increase or decrease in felony crime.
