NYC Youth Crime in Context: Arrest & Recidivism – NYC – Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice

Key Data Insights

In 2024, the youth share of citywide felony and violent felony arrests was the same as it was in 2018.
A small proportion of youth felony arrests (~5%) are for the most serious violent felony crimes, where 16-17s have seen an uptick as a share of citywide crime, mostly in the past year (2024-2025). The small proportion of 13–15-year-olds has increased steadily in this category in recent years.
Youth recidivism rates for all felony, violent, and serious violent offenses are stable or decreasing. Most youth are reoffending at or below 2018 levels.
