bratton and his chiefs invented COMPSTAT in response to seeing how out-of-date the department was in terms of current crime statistics.

i suppose that's rudy's success because he had the god-given foresight to hire bratton? take your rudy-fest somewhere else.

You didn’t answer my question about whether Bratton implemented compstat before working for Giuliani. If he did, then you would have a strong argument for why Giuliani should not get credit for Compstat. Otherwise, your argument immediately gets murky. BTW, did you sit in on the meetings where compstat was invented?
