Why are the squeegee men back in New York City?

The Lou Perez Podcast with Peter Moskos

When it comes to crime and policing, Peter Moskos is one of my go-tos. He’s a former Cop in the Hood and author of several books, including the aforementioned Cop in the Hood, Greek Americans, In Defense of Flogging, and his latest (get that preorder in) Back from the Brink: Inside the NYPD and New York City’s Extraordinary 1990s Crime Drop.

We talked about:

—How the safety of a city should not be judged on murder alone.

—How Mayor Dinkins—not Rudy Giuliani—solved the scourge of squeegee men in NYC.

—The people that “actually believe criminals represent a community.”

—The death of the New York accent. (I don’t remember the exact day mine died, but after a few beers its spirit comes back to haunt me.)
