Guilliani cleaned up his city back in the 90s. The city was a real mess after the crack epidemic and we always joked that he had them all thrown in the river. It was a stark difference in only a few short years. Bloomsburg continued his policies and by around 2005ish the city felt like Disneyland so much I kind of missed the grittiness of the old days.
He called it broken windows and he went after the nuisance crimes like noise complaints when bars would empty out and panhandlers at intersections wanting to wash your windows for change. The idea was to make it feel like less of a lawless shite hole. He also gathered up the homeless and put most of them in hotels where they can clean themselves and hopefully get a job. It worked.
Here is the thing: crime went down everywhere, including all the other big cities who didn't enact these policies.
Rudy's efforts to clean up NYC were just good timing for a major societal shift from the shithole that America was from 1975-1995.

ETA: he also went after violent offenders and had special units on the street, highly trained and experienced veteran police officers, spot gun toting thugs and stop and frisk them. They were the street crimes unit and mostly dressed like construction workers and would drive around in taxi cabs. They were accurate something like 90% of the stops were illegally carrying concealed firearms. Shootings plummeted in the city.
