The city hasn’t seen such levels of violence since the mid-1990s.The has blamed the surge in on a series of policies that have complicated the department’s work.Last year’s bail reform banned judges from requiring cash bail for most nonviolent and some lower-level violent crimes, resulting in criminals getting quickly back on the street after arrests.The city also outlawed officers from pressing their knee against a suspect’s back or chest during an arrest.for criminalizing martial arts techniques routinely used by police to safely subdue resisting subjects. They warned it will lead police to use more severe methods, such as tasers, or avoid arrests altogether.Some NYPD officers told The Epoch Times on the condition of anonymity that officers are hesitant to arrest resisting suspects, unless they pose a present danger to the officers or the public.Only a small portion of people released due to the reform have been involved in , The New York Post .

The Office of Court Administration rejected the blame, saying many of the court proceedings have continued virtually, the New York Daily News .On Sept. 24, de Blasio promised that “a number of very specific plans” will be introduced over the coming weeks to address the violence.“The solution is to work with communities, and that’s what neighborhood policing is all about,” he said, .The following day, Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the violence “wholly unacceptable,” calling on the city government to “step up and lead.”“If none of them want to lead it, I will find someone to lead it,” he said.
