Do Not Defund: Roland Fryer and Rafael Mangual on Crime and Policing in the 21st Century

Roland Fryer is a professor of economics at Harvard University. Fryer's research combines economic theory, empirical evidence, and randomized experiments to help design more effective government policies. His work on education, inequality, and race has been widely cited in media outlets and congressional testimony. 

Rafael Mangual is a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and head of research for its Policing and Public Safety Initiative. He is also the author of a new book, Criminal (In)Justice: What the Push for Decarceration and Depolicing Gets Wrong and Who It Hurts Most. 

Together, Mangual and Fryer take a close look at what is and is not working in policing and law enforcement, in some cases citing statistics and research they have personally conducted. They also make the case that most people, regardless of race or economic status, want safe neighborhoods and cities and explain why the defund movement is not popular among them.

Blacks hurt most by war on cops

WARNING: Woke progressive politics can be fatal The FBI released its crime numbers for calendar 2020. It is well reported that the violent crime rate increased 5.2% from 2019. But homicides by almost 30%! Killings accounted for the highest year-to-year increase since 1960, when such record-keeping began. Sure enough, Madison WI recorded its ninth homicide last evening (09-27-21) on a nice street…

There's A Good Reason New York's Homeless Often Sleep In The Subway

"A homeless person doesn't want to be on that train either."

NEW YORK -- Ten years ago, William Burnett often spent his nights sleeping on the New York City subway. It was better than his other option: a shelter on Wards Island where he said two rival gangs, the Bloods and the Latin Kings, were "trying to outdo each other over who could terrorize" the shelter's homeless occupants.

After members of the Bloods repeatedly tried to extort money he didn't have, Burnett, now 45, decided he "needed to disappear."

"So for months after that, I was riding on the trains," he recalled, adding that he was just "trying to stay alive and not get cut."

These days, Burnett is a board member at Picture the Homeless, a leading advocacy group for New York City's homeless. Earlier this year, he got into a housing program that helps veterans and their families.

But for many of New York City's homeless, he said, the subway is still their safer option, particularly in the winter when temperatures drop.
