Rudy G was the mayor of NYC, who proved to the world that NYC was in fact, governable, against popular opinion at the time.

He set his police department to ticket, stop, or even arrest violators of "minor violations".

The result? NYC became the safest large city in America in 5 years. Do a search on the "Broken Window theory". It wll explain all.

The upshot is that good policing can reduce crime. Duh!

Dare I ask? Hehehe... Could I see a credible source for this "New York, safest city in America" statement? If you don't mind.....I guess I missed that somewhere. I look forward to your facts backing this up.....

Actually, I did a little quick research, it's not only *not* the safest city, in overall ratings, it didn't even rate among the top 25 safest cities.....
