Gun violence in [New York City] is surging this year, with more than 80 shootings in the last week alone. The question remains, why?
“You have to ask yourself if the combination of all the changes — the decrease in enforcement, the bail reform, the protests, whether or not that impacts behavior in some way, crime committing behavior — and, logically, you almost have to say it does or else it is very hard to otherwise explain,” said Richard Aborn, the president of the Citizens Crime Commission of New York City. …
The NYPD says about 275 of those released inmates have been rearrested approximately 550 times, but the department could not say how that compares to normal recidivism.
“We recommended 96 percent of that population not to be released, it was ignored and now we have more victims and we see the lawlessness on the streets,” added NYPD Chief of Crime Control Strategies Michael LiPetri.
