Used to live the life of kings. Now flacking for the Kings County DA.
We're at 22 days and counting in Brooklyn (fourth biggest city in the US with ~2.7 million people)
New York City went 12 days without a murder in November / December. That's tied for the longest stretch in history, according to the NYPD. As someone who was here when there were 6+ murders per day in this town, it continues to amaze me how safe the place is.

#ICYMI: We had tremendous fun handing out 700 backpacks, 550 wristbands for Luna Park, and hundreds of school supplies and meals to families last month to celebrate the end of summer and help our young people kick off the start of the school year.

I find it amazing that a very progressive publication is on a campaign to abolish conviction review units, which work on exonerating innocent people. What the stories (not linking, they're too long anyway) fail to acknowledge is that the alternative is...nothing. Just more wrongful convictions.

Good crime news alert: there were only twelve (12) homicides in Brooklyn so far this year, less than half of the total the same time last year. None during the past week. In a county of nearly 3 million people. Astounding.

These numbers are great on their own and even better compared to citywide %s. BK's declines in homicides, shootings and shooting victims is ~ X2 the citywide decline. No other boro (besides SI) improved in all three this yr. BK used to account for ~40% of city share in these categories, now ~32%
Some good end of year crime news: Brooklyn isn't only safe in terms of gun violence, it's the safest it's ever been! Here to an even safer 2025.
This year marked the safest year for gun violence in Brooklyn’s history, beating 2019’s pre pandemic lows.

Another innovation out of Brooklyn--reduces both recidivism and criminal justice involvement
Encouraging stuff here. Not crazy about the move toward automated enforcement, which often means more fines, fees, and suspensions that can be devastating for low-income people. If there's a diversion program that minimizes those harms while also significantly reducing recidivism, all the better.
How the Driver Accountability Program Makes NYC Streets Safer
An innovative response to driving offenses reduces recidivism while cutting back on the harms of the justice system, according to our new impact evaluation.

There was a front page story in The NY Times in 2017 calling into question the veracity of cutting-edge DNA techniques and their use as evidence.
Took a few years but the question has now been answered, correctly: They’re scientifically sound and admissible.
