Offenses Against The Person reports in New York City

Among 400,500 New York City incidents in this extract, 1,305 are coded Offenses Against The Person — about 0.3 percent of the city file. NYPD published that type through NYC Open Data. LocalCrimeVault indexes reports, not convictions.

Key figures

  • 1,305 New York City incidents are coded Offenses Against The Person — about 0.3% of 400,500 city reports.
  • The type string is NYPD offense classification as published; this site does not recode it.
  • This label is not Assault 3, Felony Assault, or Robbery.
  • Rows are police reports from city open data, not convictions or unique people.

What 1,305 Offenses Against The Person reports measure

1,305 rows are coded Offenses Against The Person as NYPD labeled the report. That published string is not Assault 3 & Related Offenses, not Felony Assault, and not Robbery. NYPD kept those as separate types. The official published label is "Offenses Against The Person." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string.

The 1,305 figure is a count of incident records, not unique people and not hospital cases. Readers looking for a combined person-crime total will not find it on this page. Adding assault labels to 1,305 would mix events NYPD stored under different type fields.

How NYPD type labels work on this feed

Every row on the New York City open-data incident extract carries a type field drawn from NYPD offense classification as published. If a report was written as Offenses Against The Person, it stays under that string here. This page does not split the 1,305 rows into subtypes the packet does not contain.

A primary type is not a criminal conviction. A single field event can involve more than one offense; the public extract typically exposes one published type per row. Other agencies may file similar leftover person events under battery, intimidation, or miscellaneous-person names that never appear in this New York City list.

Person-crime talk often starts with assault. Offenses Against The Person is a leftover NYPD string: 1,305 rows. Assault 3 & Related Offenses, Felony Assault, and Robbery stay outside that total. This extract is one harvest of NYC Open Data as indexed on LocalCrimeVault, not a hospital case file.

Offenses Against The Person as a share of New York City reports

Relative to 400,500 New York City incidents, 1,305 reports coded Offenses Against The Person are about 0.3 percent of the city file. Named assault types are much larger slices of the same extract. This page isolates the residual person string only.

Keep the denominator in view: 0.3 percent of the indexed city total is not a victimization rate. Rates need a population or survey denominator that this packet does not include. Volume is a labeling share, not a ranking of harm.

Reports, not convictions

An Offenses Against The Person row means a report was taken and coded. It does not mean a prosecutor filed a charge, a judge entered a finding, or a person was identified. Treating 1,305 as a conviction tally would overstate legal outcomes.

New York City Police Department publishes the underlying incidents through NYC Open Data. LocalCrimeVault indexes that feed. If the agency later updates a record, the public count can move. This page describes the extract as harvested, not a forecast and not a neighborhood safety score.

How to read the type table

The type hub lists the 1,305 rows with the fields NYPD shares publicly: date, coarse location, and related attributes. Block ranges are intentionally coarse. They are not street-number addresses, and they are not proof that a named person was involved.

Nothing in the 1,305 count tells you clearance or charging. Those outcomes are outside this extract. If a filter reduces the table, you have left the headline on purpose.

A coarse location on an Offenses Against The Person row is not a named-person record. The 1,305 count does not describe injury. Cite the type hub for the headline. If you subset the table, the subset is a different claim than 1,305.

Where to go next in the New York City data

Use the New York City type hub for the live table of these 1,305 rows. The city-wide New York City hub places Offenses Against The Person beside named assault types so the 0.3 percent share is visible next to larger person-crime labels. A cross-city view of the same type slug exists; definitions still follow each agency's feed.

If you are documenting a method, record the extract and the 1,305 / 400,500 pair. Open-data crime files are living tables. Cite the overlay table for row-level fields. Keep reports and convictions in separate sentences. Do not treat this guide as a live dispatch feed or a court docket.

The headline count on this page is 1,305 indexed reports for the published type label against a city file of 400,500 reports. LocalCrimeVault indexes the public incident feed for New York City. Cite the overlay table for row-level fields. Keep reports and convictions in separate sentences. Do not treat this guide as a live dispatch feed, a victimization survey, or a court docket. If a later harvest moves the integer, the new snapshot is a new citation, not a silent revision of this page.

Questions

How many Offenses Against The Person reports are in the New York City index?
This extract includes 1,305 New York City incidents coded Offenses Against The Person. That is about 0.3 percent of 400,500 city incidents indexed on LocalCrimeVault. The figure counts police reports from NYC Open Data, not convictions or unique people. NYPD assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.
Is Offenses Against The Person the same as felony assault or robbery?
No. This page covers only rows whose published type is Offenses Against The Person (1,305 reports). Assault and robbery labels on the New York City feed are separate. Mixing categories would inflate totals. Use the city hub if you need the mix of all types against 400,500 reports.
Does an Offenses Against The Person incident mean someone was convicted?
No. Public incident rows are reports. They can remain in the open-data feed if no arrest was made, if charges were declined, or if the case was later unfounded and not yet removed. The 1,305 count should be read as report volume. Court records live outside this narrative.
Where does LocalCrimeVault get these New York City counts?
Counts come from New York City Police Department incidents published on NYC Open Data and indexed here. Offense types are NYPD offense classification as published. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges. Compare the type table with the New York City hub if you need this label next to the other 400,500 city reports.
