The “logic” at the core of the Democratic Party is that giving criminals no consequences for their actions won’t make crime worse. Unsurprisingly, that just keeps proving to be untrue.
A study from Data for Collaborative Justice, a pro-reform group, evaluated the arrest rates for criminals in upstate and suburban New York under the state’s bail reform law. It found that 66% of those with a criminal record who were released were arrested again within two years. It also found that 67% with a recent arrest for a violent felony were arrested again after release within two years of their arraignment, with almost half being rearrested for a felony.
