The NYPD knows who they apprehend, the Department of Correction knows that is jailed, and the court system understands the release problems that are set for each arrestee. Would not it be lighting up to see simply the number of recidivist offenders are launched by themselves recognizance every week– and what their records were?

Regression is up due to the fact that the state legislature’s bail reform regulations of 2019 don’t permit judges to remand harmful defendants– and also when they can set bond, the plant of judges selected by Bill de Blasio typically decline to do so.

Adams and Tisch seem to obtain this. The mayor has been essential of bail reform in the past, and the commissioner created a column in The Message this week to beg with Albany for an adjustment in the regulations that have fueled the increase in criminal offense.
