“I don’t think so” isn’t much of a refutation.
You should read the book, because it’s analysis is much more compelling than my summary.
It sounds like an interesting read. I’ll put it on my list. However, having lived in NYC during that decade, and meeting people from all walks of life, including local government personnel, and keeping up with the local media reports, I’ll trust my own eyes and ears on this, not a book.
That was my thought. Likely from those in all the new CCW and Castle Doctrine states?
Your eyes and ears tell you that crime went down. They don’t tell you why.
What an idiotic report. Had crime increased during Rudy’s tenure, no hesitation would have been shown in holding him responsible. Both the good and the bad come with the turf of incumbency - whether you like the guy or not. Grow up.
“Your eyes and ears tell you that crime went down. They don’t tell you why.”
That’s presumptuous of you to tell me what my ears and eyes tell me. But I’m not surprised in the least.
True, good post Liberty.
juli paid journalists to polish his apple.
How about neither? I think god is really to blame ultimately for any change in the crime rate, up or down.
