New York City Mayor Eric Adams is advocating for crucial funding priorities in the 2025 state budget, emphasizing investments in childcare, reduced recidivism rates, and tax relief for working families. At a recent press conference, he highlighted the city's notable crime reduction achievements, including record low shooting incidents. However, a persistent challenge remains in addressing high recidivism rates highlighted by Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who pointed out that the criminal justice system is facing ongoing issues despite overall crime declining significantly.
The criminal justice reforms of 2019 created a revolving door...out of our criminal justice system," said Tisch. "It's a travesty," said Tisch. "In New York City, we do not have a surging crime problem, but we do have a surging recidivism problem."
