When you say "it looks like", what were you looking at? You got data that shows that NYC's crime drop didn't stick out?
I googled that question, saw this article.
University of California isn't known as a right-wing school last time I checked. Yet a law professor there said NYC's crime drop under Rudy "one of the most remarkable stories in the history of urban crime".

Here is another article. From the article:
"During the 1990s, crime rates in New York City dropped dramatically, even more than in the United States as a whole.
Violent crime declined by more than 56 percent in the City, compared to about 28 percent in the nation as whole."
Meaning, NYC saw a drop that was exactly double the nationwide average.

But Rudy was a Republican, and even worse, a Trump ally. He can't have done anything good.
