The institute enjoyed close ties to the administration of New York City
MayorRudy Giuliani <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudy_Giuliani>, who
had become a regular at Institute luncheons and lectures after his
failed mayoral campaign in 1989. Violent crime in New York City had
recently hit a peak of 2,245 homicides in 1990. The Spring 1992 Issue
of/City Journal/was devoted to "The Quality of Urban Life", and featured
articles on crime, education, housing, and the serious deterioration of
the city's public spaces. The issue caught Giuliani's eye as he prepared
to run for mayor again in 1993. The campaign contacted/City
Journal/editor Fred Siegel to develop tutorial sessions for the
candidate with experts on education, housing, and crime. Among the
policies embraced by his administration was the "broken-windows" theory
of policing, which had already begun to be adopted on some levels by
leadership in the NYPD.
