#2Some time ago, I watched Frontline's "Policing the Police" episode that featured Newark and Baraka's efforts. The episode was fairly early in their process (2016), and does a nice job of framing up both the problem, and how they intended to solve it. Jelani Cobb hosts it. He does a ride-along, and somewhat incredibly, sees the problems first hand...despite the cops he's riding with knowing full well he's filming everything.

#3While the crime rate has been going down since 2013, Newark still has a murder rate of 57 per 100,000 while the US average is 5 per 100,000. Perhaps their policing model should not be copied.

Do police actually affect the murder rate?

It's on youtube [1]. They released another documentary with the same name and the same Newark subject with 2020 updates [2]. They both have the same duration but are different.
[1] Policing the Police (2016)

[2] Policing the Police (2020)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taNwWilMVLg
Both come with optional English subtitles.

Instead of comparing the murder rate to the entire U.S. it’s more telling to compare Newark’s current murder rate to it’s historic rate [1]. In 2019 it was at a 6 decade minimum.

Probably but for an extreme example, look at what’s happened in Portland.

That link shows that things are improving every year in Newark.

This is the most pathetic attempt to lie with statistics I have seen all week, congrats!
JFC, can you not even be bothered to read the stat you tried to pick to prove your point? The rate according to data you provided was 20.3/100k. The murder rate is proportional to population density across the country as a general rule, so the 'US average' is a bullshit stat to try to use for comparison with a large city. If you compare Newark to its own past rates they are currently at a rate that was last seen in the 60s (this period of low homicide and crime rates was present _before_ covid, so do not bother trying some sort of 'all because of lockdown' lie.) While the general trend in large US cities is downward, Newark started from a higher rate and has dropped significantly faster than comparable cities.
I can see why you would create a throwaway account if you are not even going to be bothered trying to provide a truthful stat.
