I thought the big gains for NYC were 1970s to end-of-Koch, not 1993 to 2012.

I still am confused how NYC became "escape from NY" in the 1970s and early 1980s.

I didn't visit New York until the early 1990's, so I'm not sure what it was like in the 1980's, but my understanding is that violent crime peaked in 1990.
