“New York has broken new ground on what is possible with violence in a very large city,” said Franklin Zimring.… Such low rates of life-threatening violence in New York City and Los Angeles may at some point make it fair to start comparing them to other large and less violent global cities such as London and Paris instead of other U.S. urban areas, Zimring said.
