公共安全倡导者对市长在警务问题上采取的不干涉态度越来越感到失望。
Public safety advocates are growing frustrated with the mayor’s hands-off approach to policing.
纽约——纽约市长佐兰·马姆达尼在竞选时承诺将采取全新的警务方式。如今上任九个月,他的一些左翼盟友对变革如此之少越来越感到失望。
NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised a new way of policing on the campaign trail. Nine months into his term, some of his allies on the left are growing frustrated with just how little has changed.
自1月上任以来,马姆达尼不仅保留了前市长埃里克·亚当斯的警察局长杰西卡·蒂施,还在很大程度上让她按照自己的方式管理警察局,这让那些期待他更根本性地改变城市对居民警务方式的刑事司法倡导者感到失望。
Since taking office in January, Mamdani has done more than retain former Mayor Eric Adams’ police commissioner, Jessica Tisch. He has largely let her run the department on her terms, frustrating criminal justice advocates who expected him to more fundamentally shift how the city polices its residents.
马姆达尼的警察局继续使用一个在刑事调查中颇具争议的DNA数据库。他的政府正寻求扩大一个公共住房摄像头项目,该项目因监控和侵犯隐私问题引发了租户的诉讼。今年已有六人在纽约警察局拘留期间死亡,其中一些人因轻罪被关押,引发了人们对被捕期间医疗待遇的担忧。
Mamdani’s police department continues to employ a controversial DNA database used in criminal investigations. His administration is seeking to expand a public housing camera program that has sparked a lawsuit from tenants over surveillance and invasion of privacy concerns. And six people have died in NYPD custody this year, some being held on low-level charges, prompting concern about medical treatment while under arrest.
在马姆达尼的领导下,警察局仍在逮捕性工作者,尽管马姆达尼曾表示支持非刑事化。该市法律部门还在抗辩一起诉讼,该诉讼指控警察局在刑事调查中使用未成年人的密封法庭记录,纽约警察局否认这些指控。
Under the mayor, the police department is still arresting sex workers even after Mamdani said he supported decriminalization. And the city’s Law Department is fighting a lawsuit accusing the department of using sealed court records of minors in criminal investigations, allegations the NYPD denies.
