New York City is amid a crime wave. In 2022, major crimes rose by 22%, and likely the largest contributor to the spike was shoplifting — which shot up an astounding 44%.
At the beginning of 2023, New York City Mayor Eric Adams claimed he understood the severity of the problem and that he would place special focus on addressing it. He made his mission clear: to ensure that New Yorkers are safe.Fast-forward a few months, and Adams has now unveiled his highly anticipated, and much-needed, plan to tackle the shoplifting problem in New York City. Unfortunately, though, the plan is an utter disappointment.
With the exception of the repeat offender database, this plan is a masterclass in how to appear to be tackling a problem while really doing nothing.
