“The NYPD has made almost 400,000 arrests in the past year, which is up from 268,000 arrests in 1995, when there were three times as many murders in the city. Bratton defended the increased arrest rate, however, citing a dramatic decrease in state prison populations. ‘Why? Because the serious crime that would get people sentenced to those facilities is down dramatically. Why? Because we’re stopping the behavior before it becomes more serious,’ Bratton said. He said he would rather crack down on summonable offenses where people don’t go to jail. Blacks and Latinos make up 85 percent of drug arrests in New York City when half of the drug users are actually white.”
