NEW YORK, NY - JULY 10: A man is brought to jail by a New York City Police Officer on July 10, 2012 in New York City. Both New York and Chicago have recently witnessed spikes in crime and shootings. In New York City a violent Fourth of July saw at least a dozen people fall shot by gunfire. Murders in New York City have risen to 21 from 18 at this point in 2011, a jump of almost 17 percent. While some experts say the recent rise in shootings is an anomaly, others fear the rise in shootings is part of a violent new trend. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
