New York City Mayor Eric Adams has spent his first nine months on the job tackling the crime problem that helped propel him to victory last year.
But his tough approach has met resistance from liberal activists, who warn of a return to policing tactics that the criminal justice movement has fought hard to end.
Since Adams’s anti-crime push began in the spring, the New York Police Department has reported an increase in arrests. Adams made waves with his decision to resurrect a policing unit that the city disbanded amid the protests following George Floyd’s murder in 2020. The incoming mayor quickly followed through on a promise to bring back “anti-crime units” made up of plainclothes officers that are charged with targeting gun crimes.
Osse also recalled being searched by police as a teenager during the height of the “stop and frisk” era, during which police relied on, and occasionally abused, the ability to question and search anyone of whom they had reasonable suspicion. The broken windows law enforcement theory holds that targeting lower-level crimes aggressively reduces violent crimes as well.
