On Wednesday, Breitbart<\/a> reported the following totally unsurprising information:<\/p>\n

Felony suspects released without bail thanks to New York\u2019s bail reform law are more likely to be rearrested for more felonies, including violent crimes, than suspects who were given bail before the law went into effect.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A study<\/a> by researchers at John Jay College of Criminal Justice reviewed cases prior to the New York law taking effect and cases after the law was implemented where most suspects arrested for crimes are not required to pay any bail to be released from jail.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overall, the study found that 47 percent of New York City suspects previously charged with felonies were rearrested for crimes \u2014 including more than 31 percent of whom were rearrested for felonies, more than 17 percent rearrested for violent crimes, and almost four percent rearrested for firearm charges.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Of the more than 1,000 violent crime suspects reviewed by researchers, more than 72 percent were rearrested compared to fewer than 62 percent who were rearrested before the bail reform law.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Similarly, these violent crime suspects were rearrested for felonies at a more than 50 percent rate after being released without bail and rearrested for violent crimes at an almost 36 percent rate. Compare that to before the law when these suspects were rearrested for felonies at a 38 percent rate and a 24 percent rate for violent crimes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The research on New York\u2019s bail reform law echoes research in other states and cities that have nearly identical bail policies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Yolo County, California, for instance, 70 percent<\/a> of suspects released without bail went on to be rearrested for additional crimes.\u00a0Many of those suspects were rearrested for violent crimes like homicide, rape, kidnapping, robbery, carjacking, attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, and domestic violence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who would have thought that letting criminals out of jail results in more crime?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
