Assuming you mean these...
So what tactics? Stop and Frisk?
yes, I mean anything that Rudy did to help bring the violent crime down.
Can you post any studies that showed it was effective?
Crime went way down during his tenure. In your words, "look it up". I took your advice and looked up stop and frisk, and saw that you were right, a judge declared it unconstitutional.
Why did crime start going down in other states and countries that didn't do the unconstitutional stop and frisk?
Probably because starting with Pres Clinton, we finally figured it would be a good idea to start locking up violent criminals instead of feeling sorry for them. I'm not a criminologist. Funny, you see no correlation between who was in charge and the results. I presume then, that you don't blame Bush for the economic crash, nor do you credit Obama for the rebound? Or are you selective with such things?
When did crime start going down and when did Rudy implement stop and frisk?
Again, in your words, look it up. You didn't spoon feed it to me, I won't to you. Fair or unfair?
Did the crime rate go back up after they stopped stop and frisk?
Don't know. If it didn't, that proves nothing, because crime could still be down because of the people he put away who are still behind bars.
We get it...you are opposed to proactively trying to identify people who are carrying guns in urban areas. Good for you!! Let's just wait for the day when the bad guys all turn themselves in. Until then, we'll keep burying innocent victims.
