Not true. What was done in the 1990s was very different than what it evolved to later, mostly after Giuliani. Like any metric driven process you need to be careful with the metrics. After awhile the compstat system became part of the internal political machinery of NYPD. It was a means to reward friends and punish rivals. People got stuck in the middle. So the equivalent of mid-level directors at NYPD did what people do - cooked the books. If they were expected to yield a 20% increase in citations, they’d find some bullshit way to get them. If they needed to reduce rapes, they would charge assaults. This happened because of poor governance and that the people who pioneered statistics driven policing were from the transit police and were able to overstep the normal bureaucracy. The incompetence of leadership and fostering of a toxic culture is continuing with the knee jerk responses. We’re ignoring crime and fostering a broken culture in the police forces nationally.
