Reply to comment by bangbangthreehunna in Study shows those released under NY's bail reform laws are less likely to get rearrested by mowotlarx

It doesn't contradict the headline. They took data of all releases during ball reform and recidivism went down. Again, sorry that isn't what you wanted to hear but the numbers are the numbers.

Overall, but the quote I provided is pretty telling. Violent crimes are more impactful than non violent crimes.

It’s not only misleading, it’s extremely disingenuous to pretend that a reoffense on a petty theft is the same as a reoffense on a felony violence crime.

Let me ask you this, if the total population is 500 people and 400 people with misdemeanor cases, and none of the 400 got re-arrested compared post reform to 200 re-arrests pre bail reform. Then the remaining 100 people had violent felony cases, and bail reform caused the re arrest number to go from 50 to 75, that’s an overall decrease (250 to 75), but are we better off?
