The 1980s was the era of peak crime, the Central Park Five, Bernard Goetz, who was the subway vigilante, when Curtis Sliwa's Guardian Angels patrolled the subway cars, which were all 100% covered in graffiti.

This was all before the 1990s when Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Police Chief William Bratton focused on the broken windows theory and began to clean up the city.
PeterHOST
I met Anna in 1996, and a couple of years later, in June 1998, she moved to New York for a management consulting job in Manhattan, and she found an apartment in Brooklyn.
PeterHOST
Her mother had given her an old Saab, the one that she learned how to drive on, actually, and we kept that in Philadelphia because it was cheaper to park it there, and I drove it back and forth to see her most weekends.

Joe ScarboroughHOST
The shooting of a man who is undocumented, according to reports, in a state that with a lot of Hispanics who have said enough is enough, and yet the shooting just keeps continuing by federal agents.
Jonathan LemirePANELIST
Yeah, in first your point about shooting and moving vehicles, we've had Commissioner Bratton and other top law enforcement officials say how in big city police forces, whether it's New York, Los Angeles, Boston, the like, that you told you never do that unless life is in danger.
Jonathan LemirePANELIST
There's no sense that was the case here.
Jonathan LemirePANELIST
It certainly wasn't in Minneapolis when we saw Nicole Good killed there.

And don't forget, for a lot of the establishment class, this is now the second mayor in a row where they don't know him or anybody around him.
Christina GreerHOST
And they're just sort of like, where's my power? Where's my power? And so when de Blasio gets into office, he brings back Bill Bratton.
Christina GreerHOST
It's like, what? Like, are you kidding me? You ostensibly, you know, campaigned on ending stop-and-frisk, and then you bring back the architect? Make that make sense.
Christina GreerHOST
So I do think that especially Democratic mayors of major cities, you know, they're always seen or accused of being soft on crime.

By February 10th, 2009, the detectives have a list of five women in Sherry's life they need to eliminate as possible suspects, not because of motive, but because Sherry knew each of them well enough that she might open her front door for them.
Megyn KellyHOST
Number one is Sherry's mother, Loretta.

And when it came time to give him another four years, the mayor, who's white, decided not to because he felt crime had gone up.
Larry ElderHOST
Hired Chief Bratton, who was the former NYPD commissioner.
Larry ElderHOST

Dan BonginoHOST
It shouldn't be anyone from the FBI, from the CIA, from any three-letter agency.
Dan BonginoHOST
Get a respected outside, maybe a guy, I'm just throwing a name out there, like a, a, a Rudy Giuliani type or a Bill Bratton, who was the police chief in New York.
Dan BonginoHOST
A guy with no attachment to any of these entities that has no reason to kind of like, whatever, fudge the numbers or whatever some people may think is going on.

And review everything.
