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

That’s great and yet offenders in the category most new yorkers care about (violent offenders) saw there rearrest rates increase after being released.

I guess the headline tried to address the a very common criticism of bail reform, which is that it increased crime in NYC overall. Few critics make the distinction between different offender cohorts.

Also, the article itself does point out that there were re-arrest increases for certain cohorts.

I would hope you would care about everyone that gets arrested because you have basic empathy and believe incarceration without a right to a speedy trial seems mighty.... amoral.
