The City That Became Safe by Franklin E. Zimring is a criminological study that investigates the dramatic decline in crime rates in New York City during the 1990s and analyzes the specific factors that contributed to this unprecedented urban shift. On an episode of The Ezra Klein Show released on October 18, 2024, titled The Hidden Politics of Disorder, guest Charles Fain Lehman appeared on the program to discuss crime and policing. During the conversation, Lehman referenced the work by criminologist Franklin Zimring to explain the substantial decrease in crime experienced by New York City. Lehman pointed out that the author argues New York's crime decline was exceptionally large, even when compared to national trends, and attributes this success largely to the city's adoption of specific policing tactics and strategies implemented during the administrations of mayors Rudy Giuliani and Mike Bloomberg. Lehman utilized the book's core arguments to illustrate urban policy dynamics and the complex historical debate surrounding effective law enforcement and crime reduction strategies.
