Lmao I just told you I didn't offer a solution because that wasn't my intent when responding to you. But fine.

Stop arresting people for non-violent drug crimes, pardon those currently incarcerated for such crimes (roughly 44% of those in a US prison are for drug crimes). That should significantly reduce NY's current prison overpopulation problem - the primary reason we have the whole arrest and release thing occurring for even violent crimes and known criminals.

Now that there are open jail cells, actually arrest and hold violent criminals. Increase the bail requirements for those crimes, remove bail for repeat offenders. Now NY criminals have something to fear when it comes to booking in NYC, violent crimes (including rape) are significantly reduced, and the overall impact is a few more potheads and people doing blow on the streets. I'd say worth it.

Now you're moving the goalposts. We're not discussing reducing incarcerations or prison population. We're discussing rapes and prevention. Can you stay focused? Now while I agree with what you said it won't reduce crimes.

Yeah ok I'm done here lol. Idk if you have an inability to actually absorb information, but re-read what I said.

The reason rape and violent crimes keep happening is because NYC has a habit of releasing and re-releasing repeat offenders and violent criminals. The reason that happens is because we have a prison overpopulation problem in the state. Most rapes aren't done by someone with a spotless criminal record.

Keeping violent criminals in prison, and having them actually fear the NYC justice system WILL reduce rape. Christ I feel like I'm debating a wall lol. Have fun, I'm done here
