[Conservative Post] Since Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez first took office in 2019, major crime across her 14th Congressional District has soared by 70 percent—a spike that far outpaces the citywide increase of 30 percent over the same period, according to NYPD data. In some parts of the Queens-Bronx district, the numbers are even worse. And for many of the congresswoman’s constituents, the more staggering figure is zero—the number of times they say they’ve seen AOC show up to confront the crisis.
Nowhere is the explosion in lawlessness more stark than in Queens’ 110th Precinct, home to the Roosevelt Avenue corridor, a long-troubled stretch linked to organized prostitution and human trafficking. There, major index crimes—ranging from murder and rape to burglary and grand larceny—have risen by 105 percent, the highest jump in any precinct citywide. The 115th Precinct, encompassing Jackson Heights and East Elmhurst, has seen an 85 percent increase. Other precincts across the district are experiencing crime growth well above city averages, leaving residents feeling abandoned by their representative, writes The New York Post.
