D.A. Bragg Delivers Remarks Introducing New “Hate Crimes Modernization Act” Click For More

Assault can be charged as a hate crime, but gang assault cannot. So, if one person beats up another person because of the victim’s race, that assault can be charged as a hate crime. But, inexplicably, if a group of people beats someone up because of their race, that gang assault (as the law calls it) cannot be charged as a hate crime. That needs to change.

D.A. Bragg Delivers Remarks on Indictments in a Wide-Ranging Construction Fraud Scheme Click For More

The wide-ranging impact of this alleged corruption is significant. When the field is rigged, law-abiding companies and legitimate MWBEs are cheated out of much-needed contracts. And when executives care more about their bottom line than their employees, and more about their greed and lining their pockets than the law, hard-working New Yorkers suffer.

D.A. Bragg Delivers Remarks on New $9 Million Mental Health Initiative Click For More

It’s disconcerting and sometimes scary to see our neighbors who are plainly unwell whether its openly using drugs or behaving in a deserving manner, talking to themselves either above ground in our streets or below ground in our subways. These individuals need help. As do our neighborhoods and small businesses. We cannot ignore these issues and have people cycle through our court system again and again. By addressing these human needs, we address the broader needs of public safety in our community.
