I read an article last week which listed New York State as having the lowest crime rates of all the States.

Just to check, I used the tool listed previously to check property crime rates.

New York State was listed as second lowest, with Vermont being slightly lower.

I suspect you are correct about the non-reporting. I have read many people saying they do not bother to report property crimes because the police do nothing. It is especially prevalent in large urban areas.

Not reporting does perpetuate the problem. It may seem futile but I encourage all to do it.
