by Andrew Karmen (Author)
Providing both a local and a national context for New York's plunging crime rate, this work tests and debunks the many self-serving explanations for the decline. It also emphasizes the decline of the crack epidemic, skyrocketing incarceration rates, favorable demographic trends, a healthy economy, a rise in college enrollment, and more.
