DETECfrvE BOROUGH 2UEENS HOMICIDE REDUCfION PLAN (Revised 08/01195) Crime statistics for the first six months of 1995 indicate that the trend toward major crime reduction in New York City continues Shooting incidents have declined more than thirty (30%) percent while at the same time homicides are down thirty-one (-31 %) percent or 263 fewer deaths by homicide in the last six months. The reduction of homicides within the jurisdiction of Detective Borough Queens is noteworthy with a fourteen (-14%) percent reduction.
