New York City police commissioner blames new bail reforms for sudden crime spike
The uptick in crime across New York City since the new year began is a direct result of the city's newly implemented bail reform laws, Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said.
“In the first three weeks of this year, we’re seeing significant spikes in crime. So either we forgot how to police New York City, or there’s a correlation,” Shea told reporters Friday. "If you let out individuals that commit a lot of crime, that’s precision policing in reverse, and we’re seeing the effects in a very quick time, and that is why we’re so concerned.”
As of Friday at midnight, robberies in New York City are up 32.5%, car theft is up 61%, and burglaries are up 18% compared with the same time period last year, the New York Post reported.
