I grew up in Ravenswood (not far from Queensbridge) in the 1960’s-1970’s and Queensbridge was an area where crimes were constantly committed. You would think after 60 plus years, new generations would want to change that and have a safe neighborhood.
At least we now know CRIME IS UP! It had been all along. COMPSTAT BE GONE !
The article never mentions that. Why are Trump lovers so gullible?
COMPSTAT isn’t the issue, this is just a system used for statistics and to track crime in the neighborhoods. Blame the new bail reform laws that were put into place on 01/01/2020. And no one should try and argue that it isn’t because of this. If you really look at the laws and the ones that changed then you will understand why crime is going up. Just to name a few: 1st degree Stalking while committing a sex offense, 2nd degree Manslaughter,5th degree Arson as a Hate Crime,Tampering with physical evidence anyone who commits these crimes gets to walk scotch free.
