Under New York City Mayor Eric Adams’s administration, crime has decreased from its 2020 and 2021 highs, but a Manhattan Institute senior fellow has characterized the lows as “fragile gains.”
“Yes, the mayor has made some progress, but he has not made the kind of decisive progress in reducing violent crime and other crimes that we saw during the early years of the Giuliani administration and continuing through the Bloomberg administration,” Nicole Gelinas, a chartered financial analyst and the author of “After the Fall: Saving Capitalism from Wall Street and Washington,” said.
