NYC 2025 Now: Crime and Safety in a Vital City

NYC 2025 Now—an opportunity to revisit the original policy proposals of NYU Wagner's NYC 2025 initiative—convened on December 6, 2023, to discuss our city's future. In conversation with distinguished policy and public safety experts, the panel explored how innovative ideas take flight and how evidence-based findings on the multifaceted issues contributing to gun violence can be leveraged for equitable reform.

Thank you to all faculty, students, and alumni who joined us, as well as our guest speakers and organizers: Elizabeth Glazer, founder of Vital City; Steven M. Cohen, founding member of Blue Raven LLP; Eric Cumberbatch, Senior VP, Policy & Community Engagement at the Center for Policing Equity; Anna Harvey, NYU Professor and Director of Public Safety Lab; Marcos Gonzalez Soler, New York State Deputy Secretary for Public Safety; and moderator Martha E. Stark, NYU Wagner Clinical Professor of Public Service.
