When Guns Are Outlawed: A psychotherapist in an Upper East
Side office. A young woman working in a grocery store. A city bus
driver behind the wheel in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, on a
lunchtime route. Each of these was featured last year in a
snapshot of murder in New York City, where authorities have long
been battling illegal firearms - and seeing a degree of success.
But these people were killed by knives, contributing to a
troubling statistic in homicides. In 2008, even as gun killings
fell, the number of killings committed with knives or other
cutting instruments rose 50 percent in New York
City, the Police Department said: to 125 from 83. Some other
large cities saw no such increase last year, and police officials
and experts are at a loss to explain what is either a new trend
or a spike (Shades of the United Kingdom?)
