The article criticizes Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his handling of repeat offenders, particularly in the case of Harold Gooding, a criminal with 134 arrests. It raises concerns about Bragg's lenient 'decarceration' policies, arguing that they have led to a rise in crime and a deterioration of public safety in New York City. The author emphasizes that criminals face minimal consequences for their actions, effectively disincentivizing lawful behavior and impacting the livelihoods of local businesses.
Gooding's case is emblematic of the failures of Bragg's radical 'decarceration' policies, which are harming New Yorkers, forcing businesses to close and destroying our quality of life.
Bragg has invited more crime in New York City by essentially 'lowering the transactional cost of crime,' a term coined by Manhattan Institute fellow Rafael Mangual.
