Youth crime in the Big Apple has more than doubled since the state’s controversial “Raise the Age Law” kicked in — despite overall dips in crime, Mayor Eric Adams’ latest annual report revealed. The newly released Mayor’s Management Report shows drops in six of the seven major crimes across the five boroughs over the past year — but also shows that there were 5,623 felony youth arrests in fiscal year 2025, up from 2,200 in fiscal 2018 when the lax law kicked in, and 2,807 in 2021. Youngsters are also paying the price, with crimes against youths at 5,177 during this fiscal year compared to just 2,259 in the 2021 fiscal year, the 554-page report shows.
