New York police commissioner Stephen P Kennedy ordered 1 400 extra officers from other duties to patrol high risk areas from 6 p m to 2 a m after a week of deadly teenage clashes that killed four youths. He cited rising youth crime with 57 murders or manslaughters and 197 rapes by those under 21 since January. Four youths face homicide charges in a fatal playground stabbing. Kennedy noted 8 000 youths under 21 have been arrested for felonies this year, with increases among under 16 and those 16 to 20.
