A fix for New York’s disastrous bail reform law?

In the roughly two months since New York’s new bail reform law went into effect, support for the measure (which was tepid at best to start with) has almost entirely collapsed for obvious reasons. The revolving door for criminals created by this law has produced an endless stream of embarrassing headlines in Gotham’s newspapers, as bad guys laugh at the criminal justice system and go on robbery and assault sprees. Despite the Governor’s promise to “look at†some possible reforms to the measure, nothing has been done and the situation, particularly in New York City, continues to deteriorate.
Perhaps both Governor Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio should take to heart a new analysis from the Manhattan Institute which suggests that the time to fix this broken system is now. They offer some specific remedies which could at least limit the damage and quell some of the public anger currently being directed at the state and municipal governments. (Free Beacon)
