The incoming mayor and his police commissioner disagree over bail reform. Now a report sheds light on results.

Mayor-to-be Zohran Mamdani's decision to keep Jessica Tisch on as commissioner of the NYPD surprised some of his base. Mamdani has praised Tisch's work rooting out alleged corruption, but the two differ on other strategies regarding public safety. 

One of those is bail reform. Mamdani supports it. Tisch criticizes it, blaming it for a post-COVID rise in crime. 

The Data Collaborative for Justice at CUNY's John Jay College looked at the impact of the law in the state over more than 4 years. The results of that report sheds light on the impact the law has had on recidivism.

René Ropac wrote the report. He joined WNYC's Morning Edition host Michael Hill to break it down.
