Nicole Gelinas on Crime, Bail, and Mamdani's Vibesy Criminology
Podcast: The GistPublished On: Mon Nov 17 2025
Description: The Manhattan Institute's Nicole Gelinas breaks down New York's post-pandemic crime surge and what the data actually say about bail reform versus simple pandemic chaos. She explains why the city's rise in murders and disorder looks different from the national pattern and how weak supervision, dangerous subways, and repeat violent offenders all compounded the problem. Gelinas also assesses the competing theories embraced by Mayor-elect Mamdani and what the tension means for the next administration. Plus: a Spiel on Marjorie Taylor Greene's sudden crusade against "toxicity," and micro-penises in the news cycle.
