    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on New York governor Kathy Hochul's deployment of National Guard members and police to address subway crime, despite crime statistics showing a decline in subway incidents. Critics argue that this measure may exacerbate public fear and divert resources from addressing underlying issues like homelessness and mental health, echoing similar tough-on-crime approaches in other cities that fail to address root causes like poverty.
