Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday said two violent incidents that shook the city the night before, including one where, resulted from a triad of issues that current laws and policies do not address.
“You do an analysis of all of these reporting that you’re doing and you’re gonna keep coming up with the same three items: severe mental health, random acts of violence, recidivism over and over again,” Adams told reporters. “And what’s interesting is that our practices, policies and laws are not going after those three issues.”
When it comes to stemming incidents caused by those with severe mental illness, the mayor pointed to ahis administration is pushing in Albany to better track those who have been in psychiatric care after they are released.
