For this short assignment, I followed the coverage of crimes in New York Times. Throughout the week from 09/18 to 09/25, there were a number of stories about crime published there. Here is the list of stories.

On 9/18, An unprovoked killing leaves a void in a bronx neighborhood. It further states that “Nathaniel Rivers, 35, was sitting in his car when a man fatally stabbed him for no reason. Months later, the crime continues to rattle residents.” He was well known in the bronx community he was living in and giving back to his community by organizing basketball games, hosting barbecues and also threw birthday parties as well. People further say that “It’s a whole different environment now.” LINK:https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/17/nyregion/bronx-nyc-stabbing.html

On 9/20, New York City subway system begins to install security cameras in train cars, this idea was created due to the mass shooting in brooklyn, they also being to say that more crime has developed more commonly in the subways also, so this new change can help get people back to using the subways but also make the lives of everyone that uses the subway more safer when getting off their stop.

On 09/22, Protests Intensify in Iran Over Woman Who Died in Custody, on wednesday, at least seven protesters had been killed over a accusation for violating the law on head scarves, which then further created an uproar in protests and woman burning their hijabs during the protest going against the law also.

Lastly on 9/25, School shooting is fake, can It prepare an officer for a real one? In upstate New York, officers are training to become more brave when it comes to mass shootings in school, and how they can go against themselves to put enough effort and not be scared when its time to deal with a mass shooting because crimes can happen at any moment and what options are there to counter those crimes.

To summarize everything I spoke about for this week, there were some crimes created this week that were very impactful to others living in New York, but also some next step solutions that can help lower the crime rates that are being common everyday and how these next steps can help someone’s day feel more safer each day knowing that there are more solutions to help stop common crimes.
