Mayor Adams Has Announced His Plan To Fight Crime. Critics Say It Falls Short.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has announced new plans to fight gun violence. The announcement follows a series of high profile incidents, including the fatal shooting of two NYPD officers. 

Adams says he's putting more officers on patrol in high-crime neighborhoods, and hiring more so-called violence interruptors to mediate conflicts. But some critics are criticizing parts of the plan, like the idea of bringing back a controversial plainclothes anti-crime unit. WNYC/Gothamist reporter Matt Katz spoke to Katherine Fung about the policies.
