Concourse, Bronx (Pix11) – Liably with pens to hear them surrounding microphones, President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders on Monday, which he said he would fight the crime, including the first before the morning table, calling for a cash department.
Trump said Cashless deposit, a practice that allows someone to blame certain crimes without paying money for bail, leads to a situation where “someone kills someone, they go and worry about it.”

However, investigations and impact of the deposit reform data indicate that the numbers do not support the president’s assessment.
His executive order, while requiring the deposit to be completed in cash, does not necessarily cause it to stop. This tells us to the Prosecutor General Pam Bondi to draw up a list of cities and countries with cash deposit systems and to seek federal funds, including grants and contracts for those jurisdictions. The Presidential Order states Bondi then terminate that funding for those states.
The state of New York is among those with cash deposit. New Jersey also has a cash deposit system, but President Trump distinguishes Empire State for signing his executive order on Monday morning.
The main inspiration in New York adopted the Kalife Browder system. The Bronx teenager spent three years on Rikers – 700 days in a disposable isolation – waiting for trial for allegedly stealing a backpack that contains values. He was dismissed but died of suicide in 2015, two years after releasing from prison.
The Browder Case was heard at the Bronx Criminal Court, where Pix11 news on Monday faced various people who responded to the presidential executive order.
“I don’t really agree,” said the man who didn’t want to be recognized. He said he was given cash deposit in the attack case and showed documents showing that his case had been annulled after he returned to court for the second hearing.
“If this is a minor crime,” he continued, “I disagree with [ending cashless bail]”.
He also said, “It depends on the accusation.”
Under state law, the judge may set a deposit of more than 100 violent and non -violent crimes.

What this means, said Renée Hill, a 30 -year -old veterans’ criminal defense, “you have to look at each case separately.” She had just completed the process in the courthouse when Pix11 News interviewed her.
“There is no need for cash deposit for each case,” she continued. “The purpose of the deposit is to ensure that the defendant returns to court.”
Research distinguishes this. The detailed analysis of John Jay College Data collective shows that the rates of the re-arrest actually decreased by 41.3 percent. Up to 40.7 %, the deposit of cash was implemented on a national scale six years ago.
In other words, the crimes accused of making them less, and now a deposit reform has been adopted.
According to John Jay DCJ analysis, the exception of this downturn is one of the low minorities of the suspects. The percentage of recidivism between repeated suspects has increased from 60 percent to 66 percent of the cash deposit to 66 percent since the system was implemented.
However, said DCJ senior research fellow René Ropac, who has worked for the investigation, shows that cash deposit is more useful than termination.
In addition to him, in the “whole”, he said, “What we will see is of low -risk persons who are not really useful to be locked in the pre -trial, recidivism.”
The support of John Jay was analyzed by the University of Investigators of Albany. The study at the University Rokfeller’s Public Affairs and Politics College, New York State statistics on crime and deposit reform concludes that there is no measure of crime in the depths of Covid Pandemic in the depths of Covid Pandemic.
In fact, said Shawn Bushway, an economist exploring the reform of deposit at U. Albany Rockefeller College, said the data show that cash deposit helps reduce inequality in the state justice system.
“There are certain racial differences for convictions,” said Professor Bushway, “and much is due to the fact that African Americans are more likely to be detained in pre-trial, and they are more likely to agree on the claim. ‘
Cashless deposit, said Bushway, eliminates the overall trend of non -violent, non -felon criminal cases. “People with pre -trial investigations are more prone to convicts than other people with as much evidence.”
