The city of Gotham is facing a surge in recidivism, with offenders committing the same crimes repeatedly. The text blames progressive laws, particularly the 2019 bail law, for allowing criminals to remain free and commit further offenses.

Since 2018, the city has seen recidivism skyrocket: Among offenders with three or more arrests in a single year for the same crime, numbers are up a whopping 147% for those charged with felony assault and 119% for grand larceny-auto. These are not good people who stumbled into crime by bad luck.

One example is a repeat offender who had racked up 54 arrests for various violent and property crimes, yet was roaming loose prior to an underground knifing spree that injured two in two separate incidents. Why do they feel they have the space to do so? Because in Gotham cops and prosecutors are hobbled by city and state laws meant to keep crooks free and happy while constraining the people responsible for public safety. Being picked up and let go because their crimes no longer qualify for bail is a signal feature of the recidivists Adams and Tisch highlighted. (that one’s so bad even Democratic legislators want to see it changed). These recidivism numbers blow up the progressive lie that violent crooks are good people caught in bad situations. The Post warned at the time that the 2019 bail law and every other progressive justice “reform” move would erode public safety — which these numbers prove it has, despite a small but welcome year-on-year crime drop
