Bronx Councilwoman Althea Stevens disses her own voters’ crime fears

Bronx Councilwoman Althea Stevens disses her own voters’ crime fears

City Councilwoman Althea Stevens of the Bronx is under fire for her comments suggesting that residents in her district who are calling for more police are ignorant of other crime-reduction solutions. Stevens, a former social worker and advocate for defunding the NYPD, believes that initiatives like “violence interrupters” and expanded youth programming are more effective in addressing crime.

During a recent Public Safety Committee hearing, Stevens criticized residents who request more police presence, claiming they are unaware of alternative solutions. She is pushing for legislation to eliminate the NYPD’s gang database, despite the high crime rates in her district, which includes the 44th Precinct covering areas like Grand Concourse, Yankee Stadium, and Bronx Terminal Market.

The 44th Precinct has seen two homicides in the first three days of 2025 and ranked fourth in major felony crimes in 2024, with 16 homicides and 45 shootings. Despite these troubling statistics, Stevens remains adamant that her constituents are mistaken in wanting more police officers on the streets.

However, residents of the Bronx who experience the daily fear of gun violence and disorder know that their concerns are valid. While they may support youth programs and anti-crime initiatives, they recognize that increased police presence is essential for their safety.

As the petitioning process begins for the June 24 Democratic primary, it is crucial for candidates to address the genuine concerns of Bronx voters and prioritize public safety. Stevens’ dismissive attitude towards residents who advocate for more police underscores the need for new leadership that will take their concerns seriously and work towards creating a safer community for all.
