Rape reports in New York City

What 935 Rape reports measure

935 rows are coded Rape as NYPD labeled the report. That published type is a field on a public incident extract. It is not a court finding, not a named-victim list, and not a narrative of individual cases. The official published label is "Rape." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string.

The 935 figure is a count of incident records, not unique people. Sex Crimes is a separate published type on this New York City feed and is not folded into 935. Mixing those labels would inflate a total NYPD did not publish as one field. This page stays statistical and does not describe alleged conduct.

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 Rape, it stays under that string here. This page does not split the 935 rows into subtypes the packet does not contain, and it does not add case detail beyond the public type count.

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 events under criminal-sexual-assault names that never appear in this New York City list.

This category requires a short statistical reading. LocalCrimeVault publishes the NYPD string and the 935-row count, not case narratives. Sex Crimes remains a separate type. Readers who need charging or trial outcomes must use court sources outside this index. This extract is one harvest of NYC Open Data as indexed on LocalCrimeVault.

Rape as a share of New York City reports

Relative to 400,500 New York City incidents in this extract, 935 reports coded Rape are about 0.2 percent of the city file. High-volume property types dominate tables. A smaller share does not mean the category is unimportant; volume is not a ranking of harm.

Keep the denominator in view: 0.2 percent of the indexed city total is not a victimization rate. Rates need a population or survey denominator that this packet does not include. Underreporting is a known issue for this category in any police file; this extract cannot measure reports that were never made.

Reports, not convictions

A Rape 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 935 as a conviction tally would overstate legal outcomes and misread a sensitive public-records table.

New York City Police Department publishes the underlying incidents through NYC Open Data. LocalCrimeVault indexes that feed. If the agency later updates or seals 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 Rape table

The type hub lists the 935 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 935 count tells you clearance, charging, or whether a case was later sealed. Those outcomes are outside this extract. Sort and filter the table; do not treat the headline as a story about any individual.

Coarse geography on a Rape row is not a residence identifier and not a named-person record. The 935 count should be cited as report volume. Do not treat a filtered subset as if it were still the city-wide headline. Respect for people in the file starts with not turning the table into a story.

Where to go next in the New York City data

Use the New York City type hub for the live table of these 935 rows. The city-wide New York City hub places this label beside Sex Crimes so the 0.2 percent share is visible next to the related but separate grouping. 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 935 / 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, a victimization survey, or a court docket.

The headline count on this page is 935 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 Rape reports are in the New York City index?

This extract includes 935 New York City incidents coded Rape. That is about 0.2 percent of 400,500 city incidents indexed on LocalCrimeVault. The figure counts police reports from NYC Open Data, not convictions, arrests, or unique people. NYPD assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Is Rape the same as the Sex Crimes type on this feed?

No. This page covers only rows whose published type is Rape (935 reports). Sex Crimes is a separate NYPD label on the New York City extract. Mixing categories would inflate totals. Use the city hub if you need the mix of all types against 400,500 reports.

Does a Rape 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 935 count should be read as report volume. Court records live outside this narrative.

Where does LocalCrimeVault get New York City Rape 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.
