The Manhattan D.A.’s Office is investigating more hate crimes than ever before.

We are doing the hard work to make Manhattan safer through a data-driven, problem solving approach that gets dangerous people off our streets by prosecuting those that do harm; stops recidivism by connecting people to long-term supportive services; and enhances safety by investing in communities and prevention.

Earlier this year we called on YouTube to take steps to stop the proliferation of videos showing how to manufacture ghost guns to underage users. While we are pleased that YouTube implemented commonsense fixes on their platform, much more must be done.
