Thirty years ago, The Post called on Mayor David Dinkins to do something about soaring violent crime. He did. How about you, Mayor Bill de Blasio?
Today’s crime numbers are nothing like as bad as back on Sept. 7, 1990, but the direction is the same. And New Yorkers learned in the years that followed that it is entirely possible to “do something†and make a world of difference.

De Blasio was around then, indeed was a junior Dinkins staffer (meeting his future wife on the job). So he, too, knows a turnaround is eminently possible — with sufficient leadership and political will.
