Don’t trust naysayers — Adams’ crime decline is no mirage
SHARE

The New York City mayoral race is heating up, with public safety taking center stage as the top concern for voters. Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams has been touting the recent decreases in serious crime under his new police commissioner, Jessica Tisch. The first quarter of 2025 saw significant drops in murders by 34% and shootings by 23%, a success that Adams is leaning on in his reelection bid.

Critics of Adams are trying to undermine his record by pointing out that overall crime is still higher compared to when he took office, especially when looking at misdemeanors and other offenses outside the major felonies. However, this argument puts progressive leftists in a tough spot, as they have been downplaying the city’s crime issues for years.

One of the main criticisms from Adams’ opponents is that the increase in crime during his term is due to more aggressive policing in black and Latino neighborhoods. They argue that the higher arrest rates are simply a result of more officers on the streets, not an actual increase in crime. However, this claim doesn’t hold up under scrutiny, as recent enforcement efforts have coincided with a decrease in major crimes.

The rise in enforcement has likely contributed to the decline in crime rates, as evidenced by the increase in 911 calls from New Yorkers reporting incidents. Despite a decrease in the number of uniformed NYPD officers, the department has managed to make progress in tackling crime, particularly in high-crime areas.

The recent downturn in crime can be attributed to focused enforcement efforts led by Commissioner Tisch, targeting the most problematic areas and offenders in the city. While the next mayor will play a role in public safety, the real power lies with lawmakers in Albany and the City Council who influence criminal justice policies.

Ultimately, the ability to keep the public safe in New York City is dependent on a collaborative effort between the mayor, the NYPD, and other stakeholders in the criminal justice system. As long as there are systemic issues like a revolving door at the courthouse, addressing crime will require a multi-faceted approach beyond just law enforcement.

In conclusion, the upcoming mayoral election will be crucial for the future of public safety in New York City. The candidates’ approaches to crime prevention and law enforcement will be closely scrutinized, but it’s clear that effective governance will require more than just policing strategies. The city’s leaders must work together to address the root causes of crime and ensure a safer future for all residents.
