A crime-fighting call was put out and Gotham City stakeholders went to the Criminal Justice Summit at Gracie Mansion last weekend.
This past weekend for two days, they came—from law enforcers from all New York City branches, to violence interrupters and Cure Violence members from the five crime-weary boroughs, to activists with solutions. Mayor Eric Adams asked for the major players in the NYC public safety world to come together to discuss the city’s criminal justice system. They did.
“We also want to be clear. Any time we engage in this conversation around the criminal justice system people highlight one term and that is bail reform. There are so many other aspects of the criminal justice system that we were able to talk through and discuss, and we were extremely pleased with the conversations that we had.”
Adams credited Siegel for inspiring the summit and helping him assemble such a cast. The renowned attorney, who is a past contributor to the, served as the New York Civil Liberties Union’s executive director between 1985-2000. The Mayor’s Office wasn’t shy to name-drop his past role in the initial announcement.
“We’re fighting a perception issue,” Adams said.“On average we have less than six felony crimes a day…On our subway system, we have 3.5 million riders a day. For the most part, your ride is uneventful, you’re not a victim of a crime.”Police officers were in the station duringing at least two of the violent incidents.
