NYC Launches Plan to Pay Criminals for Good Behavior - The Tatum Report

NYC Launches Plan to Pay Criminals for Good Behavior - The Tatum Report: New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio introduced a new program that would offer cash incentives to young criminals for good behavior. According to a report by The Trace, the city’s months-long plan to try out the Advance Peace model is going to become a reality this month. Mayor de Blasio and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams first announced their intentions to pilot the program in March. The Advance Peace organization claims that “by working with and supporting a targeted group of individuals at the core of gun hostilities, Advance Peace bridges the gap between anti-violence programming and a hard-to-reach population at the center of violence in urban areas, thus breaking the cycle of gun hostilities and altering the trajectory of these men’s lives.”
