Theft-fraud reports in New York City

What 1,402 Theft-fraud reports measure

1,402 rows are coded Theft-fraud as NYPD labeled the report. The official published label is the hyphenated string "Theft-fraud," not Frauds and not Offenses Involving Fraud. LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string or fold it into petit or grand larceny.

The 1,402 figure is a count of incident records, not unique people and not dollar losses. Named larceny types and the other fraud labels remain in the rest of the 400,500-row city file. Mixing them with Theft-fraud would inflate a total NYPD did not publish as one field.

Hyphenated source labels stay hyphenated

Every row on the New York City open-data incident extract carries a type field drawn from NYPD offense classification as published. If the feed stores Theft-fraud, that is the string this page counts. Expanding it to "theft and fraud" would make the overlay disagree with the table.

This page does not split the 1,402 rows into subtypes the packet does not contain. A primary type is not a criminal conviction. Other agencies may file similar events under identity theft or deceptive-practice names that never appear in this New York City list.

The hyphen in Theft-fraud is part of the published NYPD field. Expanding it into two everyday words would hide that 1,402 rows sit on one string. Frauds and named larceny types remain separate. This extract is one harvest of NYC Open Data as indexed on LocalCrimeVault, not a bank-fraud caseload.

Share of the 400,500 New York City extract

Against 400,500 New York City incidents, 1,402 Theft-fraud reports are about 0.4 percent of the city file. High-volume petit larceny sits elsewhere in the same extract. This page isolates the hyphenated string only.

Keep the denominator in view: 0.4 percent of the indexed city total is not a crime rate. Rates need a population or account denominator that this packet does not include.

Reports, not convictions

A Theft-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 1,402 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 Theft-fraud table

The type hub lists the 1,402 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 1,402 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.

A block range on a Theft-fraud row is not a merchant address and not an account number. The 1,402 count does not include loss amounts. Cite the unfiltered type hub when you mean the city-wide headline.

Where to go next in the New York City data

Use the New York City type hub for the live table of these 1,402 rows. The city-wide New York City hub places Theft-fraud beside Frauds, Offenses Involving Fraud, and named larceny types so the 0.4 percent share is visible in context. 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 1,402 / 400,500 pair, and quote the hyphenated string exactly. Open-data crime files are living tables. Keep reports and convictions in separate sentences.

The headline count on this page is 1,402 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 Theft-fraud reports are in the New York City index?

This extract includes 1,402 New York City incidents coded Theft-fraud. That is about 0.4 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 hyphenated type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Is Theft-fraud the same as Frauds or petit larceny?

No. This page covers only rows whose published type is Theft-fraud (1,402 reports). Frauds and named larceny types 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 a Theft-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 1,402 count should be read as report volume. Court records live outside this narrative.

Where does LocalCrimeVault get New York City Theft-fraud 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, including the hyphenated Theft-fraud string. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges. Compare the type table with the New York City hub for the other 400,500 city reports.
