Antisemitic hate crimes in New York City declined slightly in 2025 but continued to account for the majority of reported hate crimes, according to data reviewed Monday by New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
Despite Jewish New Yorkers making up about 10% percent of the city’s population, antisemitic incidents still accounted for 330 cases, or 57% percent of all hate crimes reported in 2025, Tish said at a press conference. The anti-Jewish crimes were down 3% from 2024, and the citywide hate crimes fell by 12%, she said.
Tisch delivered the remarks during a morning press conference at One Police Plaza, alongside New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
“These numbers remain far too high,” Tisch said. “Antisemitism continues to be the most persistent hate threat that we face.”
“The NYPD will continue to confront hate crimes aggressively and protect every community targeted because of who they are,” she said.
Mamdani said that the city government will continue working to improve public safety.
“As we lead together, I want to see these numbers continue to drop, to continue to nurture the partnership between the NYPD and the communities across the city and to empower our police force to focus on the serious crimes that they signed up to tackle,” he said.
“We are going to mend the frayed social safety net that fails so many of our neighbors, tackle the mental health crisis that causes so much pain to our neighbors and continue to deliver public safety across our five boroughs,” he said.
