NYC bail reform beneficiaries rearrested for felonies at higher rate than city projections
Fox News
Accused New York City criminals who were freed as part of a state release program were rearrested for felony crimes at a higher rate than originally estimated, statistics show.
But statistics recently shared by New York State Unified Court System show 23% of accused criminal offenders were rearrested on felony charges from January 2020 to June 2021. Meanwhile, 41% of offenders were rearrested on any kinds of criminal charges, whether felony or misdemeanor, statistics show.
Local news site The City was first to report the discrepancy and the court system data.
A spokesperson for Mayor Eric Adams’ Office did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request seeking comment.
