City Journal has an article on the latest knife attacks in New York City and the nitwitted policies that facilitated them.
An excerpt:
The answer is simple: bad policies. In 2020, New York State’s bail and discovery reforms took effect. The bail reform made it so that nearly all accused criminals in the state would be released pretrial rather than held in detention, and it did so while strengthening the prohibition on judges considering public-safety risk when making release decisions. The discovery reform amounted to a massive unfunded compliance burden on prosecutors, which has led to skyrocketing dismissal rates. The following year, Alvin Bragg, who campaigned on promises to cut incarceration, bring fewer cases, and enact broad non-prosecution policies, was elected as Manhattan D.A.
