Mayor’s pointing finger at state pols

Mayor Adams renewed calls Tuesday for Albany to take aim at rampant recidivism in the wake of two horrific acts of violence that left an NYPD officer and an innocent subway rider dead.

The Adams administration held up the state’s revolvingdoor criminal justice system as one of the main unaddressed issues — along with mental health — driving the spate of violence in the Big Apple.

“Our practices, laws and policies are not going after these issues,” Hizzoner said during a press conference at City Hall.

Adams highlighted Monday night’s bloodshed as a clear example of those problems coming to a head, with the shooting of Officer Jonathan Diller, 31, allegedly by a career criminal in Queens, and the shoving of a 54-year-old man to his death at an East Harlem subway station, allegedly by an unhinged man.

“We’ve always had a problem with recidivism, it’s always been a problem, but we’ve really never zeroed in on it with case after case,” Adams said.

The state needs a “real analysis to what is feeding recidivism,” he said.

Adams’ administration has long lobbied the Legislature — unsuccessfully — to make reforms to discovery laws, which critics argue often lead overworked prosecutors to drop cases.

City Hall has also been calling for an amendment to Kendra’s Law, which can provide court-ordered treatment for those with mental health issues, to allow for more hospitalization of the mentally ill.

Renewing his plea for change, Adams called the current laws “out of alignment.”

In Albany, there’s been little movement for change on such issues as lawmakers work to hammer out a budget deal ahead of the looming April 1 deadline.

“The blood is on the Legislature’s hands,” said Assemblyman Michael Durso (R-Nassau), who represents the district where Diller lived.
