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

The “overall” part is extremely disingenuous.

Because it counts things like petty theft or disorder conduct as if they are the same as felony violence.

They are very different and shouldn’t be lumped together.

They're not lumped together though. For bail ineligible people (i.e., people where judges could no longer set bail due to bail reform), overall re-arrest rates (regardless of charge) and felony re-arrest rates went down, while violent felony re-arrest rates and firearm re-arrest rates didn't change (see p.13 of the report).
