New York City is becoming scary

[Kirkland Laing]

The plural of anecdote is not data.


Like every other US city violent crime started to drop significantly after 1990. Nothing to do with who was running the city or what kind of regime the police were using. Violent crime fell no matter what the political/policing situation was. The reason being .................... lead having been removed from gasoline years earlier. The same thing is true the world over and because various regions of the world stopped putting lead in petrol at various times it's easy to check. Once a generation of kids grow up with reduced lead getting into their brains violent crime has dropped significantly. Bit of a spike the last year or so but probably down to the pandemic and associated stuff.

It could be New York but I don't think so it just doesn't have the right vibe. This looks more like Chicago or Philadelphia

More anecdata.

Interestingly the last region of the world to stop adding lead to petrol was the Middle East. Their crime levels are due to start dropping right about now.

Violent crimes are absolutely rampant and off the charts in New York City now, and largely due to a huge loss, even pre-covid, of residents, leaving a huge vacuum in neighborhoods and a huge spike in violent crime: Without the reason to work there, lessens the reason to live there. Add the crime and cost of leaving. Retail collapse. NYC will never come back after all of them riots and the looting of the stores has caused alot of business owners to go to other cities where they don't have to worry about paying the high property taxes. Too many assaults, shootings, rapes, etc. Huge spike. Asswipes with charts and graphs have never even lived in the city haha, make us laugh and wouldnt survive 1 month there, if that.

From a probation point of view, as an ex-felon who killed his own mother, ya gotta wonder about the system here: @Master just curious if this works differently in the UK. In your extensive experience, where was the parole officer here? What could have been done better in this case in your opinion?

Serious Further Offences (SFO) happen and are independently investigated to ensure they do not happen again and lessons are learnt.

Probation officers can never be 100% certain and they have to risk assess the offender. They have to make sure they have provided defensible decisions on their actions. Hard job especially when you are working with high risk prisoners.

No Offense but you would probably fit in Kirkland's pocket.

Whelp, on a positive note NY has now legalized recreational use of the Devils cabbage . Maybe they should direct some of the guaranteed millions to come in collected taxes to mental health programs. And maybe some porta johns for guys like that one nasty fella.

We had more shootings in the Quarter around Bourbon St..the tourist mecca of the City. Drive me crazy when I see these wide eyed tourist come down and the very first thing is LETS GO DOWNTOWN. Um, no.

@Master awesome answer and thanks for the expertise on this one. I just found it nuts he killed his mom and ony served 9 out of a 10 year sentence and is back on the streets without any probationary programs.
