Abstract
The Israel-Hamas war that began on 7 October 2023 may have spurred anti-Jewish hate crimes, which are associated with measurable health harms including worsened cardiometabolic biomarkers. This study evaluated whether anti-Jewish hate crimes in New York City increased during the Israel-Hamas war using administrative data representing 3255 hate crimes between 2019 and 2024. In 26 of 72 observed months, anti-Jewish hate crimes outnumbered the combined total of all other hate crimes. Compared with other hate crimes, anti-Jewish hate crimes were more likely to be felonies (63% versus 38%, p < 0.001) and less likely to result in arrest (30% versus 57%, p < 0.001). Monthly anti-Jewish hate crimes were on average twice as common during the first year of the Israel-Hamas war than the previous 5 years, adjusting for each borough's Jewish population (PR = 1.97, 95% CI (1.64, 2.35)). The disproportionate frequency of anti-Jewish hate crimes suggests further unmeasured major and minor antisemitic discrimination.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Public Health Policy (JPHP) will continue its 35 year tradition: an accessible source of scholarly articles on the epidemiologic and social foundations of public health policy, rigorously edited, and progressive.
JPHP aims to create a more inclusive public health policy dialogue, within nations and among them. It broadens public health policy debates beyond the ''health system'' to examine all forces and environments that impinge on the health of populations. It provides an exciting platform for airing controversy and framing policy debates - honing policies to solve new problems and unresolved old ones.
JPHP welcomes unsolicited original scientific and policy contributions on all public health topics. New authors are particularly encouraged to enter debates about how to improve the health of populations and reduce health disparities.
