Offenses Involving Fraud reports in New York City

What 1,990 Offenses Involving Fraud reports measure

1,990 rows are coded Offenses Involving Fraud as NYPD labeled the report. That published string is not Frauds, not Theft-fraud, and not Forgery. NYPD kept those as separate types on the same extract. The official published label is "Offenses Involving Fraud." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string.

The 1,990 figure is a count of incident records, not unique people and not dollar losses. A combined "all fraud" total is not on this page. Summing related labels would mix strings NYPD published apart and would no longer match the 1,990 headline.

Three fraud-adjacent labels stay separate

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 Involving Fraud, it stays under that string here. This page does not split the 1,990 rows into scheme subtypes the packet does not contain.

A primary type is not a criminal conviction. Other agencies may file similar events under deceptive-practice or identity-theft names that never appear in this New York City list. Readers comparing cities should match the published string, not a recode by LocalCrimeVault.

Four fraud-adjacent NYPD strings appear in this city extract. Offenses Involving Fraud is 1,990 rows and only those rows. Frauds, Theft-fraud, and Forgery stay outside the total. This extract is one harvest of NYC Open Data as indexed on LocalCrimeVault, not a consumer-complaint bureau file.

Share of the 400,500 New York City extract

Against 400,500 New York City incidents, 1,990 Offenses Involving Fraud reports are about 0.5 percent of the city file. That is a small slice next to high-volume larceny types. Volume is a labeling share, not a ranking of financial harm.

Keep the denominator in view: 0.5 percent of the indexed city total is not a fraud rate. Rates need a population or account denominator that this packet does not include.

Reports, not convictions

An Offenses Involving Fraud 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 1,990 as a conviction tally would overstate legal outcomes.

NYPD 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 harvest, not a forecast and not a neighborhood safety score.

How to read the type table

The type hub lists the 1,990 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 business or resident was involved.

Nothing in the 1,990 count tells you clearance, restitution, or loss amount. Those outcomes are outside this extract. If a filter reduces the table, you have left the headline on purpose.

Coarse geography on these 1,990 rows is not a victim address and not a dollar figure. The type hub is the citation for the headline. If a date filter or borough filter reduces the table, the new count is a different claim than 1,990.

Where to go next in the New York City data

Use the New York City type hub for the live table of these 1,990 rows. The city-wide New York City hub places Offenses Involving Fraud beside Frauds, Theft-fraud, and Forgery so the 0.5 percent share is visible next to related but separate 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 1,990 / 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.

The headline count on this page is 1,990 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 Involving Fraud reports are in the New York City index?

This extract includes 1,990 New York City incidents coded Offenses Involving Fraud. That is about 0.5 percent of 400,500 city incidents indexed on LocalCrimeVault. The figure counts police reports from NYC Open Data, not convictions or dollar losses. NYPD assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Is Offenses Involving Fraud the same as Frauds or Theft-fraud?

No. This page covers only rows whose published type is Offenses Involving Fraud (1,990 reports). Frauds and Theft-fraud are separate NYPD labels. Mixing categories would inflate totals. Use the city hub if you need the mix of all types against 400,500 reports.

Does an Offenses Involving Fraud 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 1,990 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.
