The huge reduction in crime rates in New York shouldn't be used in an attempt to make London look bad. That's an ignorant technique and should be kept for people who want to look good at political rallies.

Fact: In 2017, the murder rate in London was 1.2 per 100,000 people, and in New York it was 3.4[1]

Fact: For two months in 2018 (February and March) the murder rate in London overtook New York[2]

Fact: The city with the lowest murder rate in the US (San Diego) had a murder rate of 2.2 per 100,000 in 2017.
