Political interpretation

Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy said multiyear trends remain positive and cautioned against reading too much into the rise.

"If you look at the long term . . . we're still 3.5 percent below in violent crime than where we were when we came into office," he said. All categories of violent crime combined actually fell more than 4 percent between 2004, when he took office, and 2008.
