Giuliani took office in 1994. there were 2016 murders that year. Murder peaked in 1990 with 2605, in 1993 there were 2,420. that’s a prety minor drop and obviously a huge problem if over 2000 people are being killed each year.
By 1998 that number was down to 924. Now that is a major reduction. Across the board those numbers continued to drop in decreases. by 2000, the numbers were still dropping even as other cities were seeing an increase in crime again.
Dinkins did nothing to reduce crime, in fact his lackadaisical attitude on policing led to a general feeling that the entire city was rotting for the core. The police hated Dinkins. Google Crown Height riots, thats how dinkins handles crime.
Anyone who makes the claim Dinkins helped reduce crime in the city is smoking crack.
Are you ignorant, or just a liar. Look at the stats. I don't like Dinkins, he was probably NYC's nadir, and think Rudy did a hell of a lot better job than anyone previous, but I won't use stats to lie like you are doing.
