Correlation does not imply causation.

As a rule it does not, but in this instance it would be hard to argue, considering a large number of crimes have led to rearrest of recently released or out on bail criminals. And a combination of financial cuts and new rules for NYPD makes for very brazen criminals. de blasio is directly responsible for all of that and NYC is definitely not better for it.

I know that what I said is correct because I have data to disprove your assertion that the release of prisoners or out of bail prisoners lead to an uptick in murder. Only one person out of the 1500 early releases due to covid was rearrested for murder and 7 for gun charges. This has a negligible impact on shootings in New York City. Also, the rikers island releases had a negligible impact on overall crime as well, considering that overall crime decreased in the first 7 months of January. Though it is impossible to pinpoint whether specific crimes spikes like burglaries and auto thefts are attributable to the covid prisoners, I doubt it's a major factor.

Rearrested means caught. Just because you didn't catch them, doesn't mean that criminals released didn't go back to their normal work - recidivism is over 80% in NY and probably more than that when there's lawlessness, and a diminished police force. Over time, this will be even more apparent and you will eventually see rearrests close to normal recidivism rates.

No surprise there - all the data that came since our last conversation supports my claims, and the longer we go, the more the numbers will match.

"among suspects in this year’s shootings, 40 percent have been caught with a gun previously, the NYPD said.

Of the 3,793 arrested in the first 11 months of the year on gun charges, 247 of them were accused of new crimes within just 60 days of their initial gun arrest, the NYPD said. "
