Bowman, a self-proclaimed Democratic socialist who joined the far-left Squad with Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., upon their swearing-in last January, has been vocal about his backing for dismantling the U.S. criminal justice system.
"A system this cruel can't be reformed. Defund the police, and defund the system that's terrorizing our communities," Bowman tweeted the month after his election on Dec. 29, 2020.
"Republicans want to defund every government program except for those that actively terrorize Black and brown people," he announced in a tweet April 19, 2021.

"It's time to disarm the police," Bowman tweeted in October 2019.
Since taking office, Bowman has witnessed violent crime in the Northern Bronx region of his 16th congressional district, which includes the Spuyten Duyvil, Woodlawn, Eastchester Heights, and Co-op City neighborhoods of the New York City borough.

According to the New York City Police Department's crime map, Bowman's district encompasses all or part of the Bronx's precincts 45, 47, and 50. Every week, the NYPD publishes statistics about the seven significant crime categories in each precinct, which includes murder, rape, robbery, felonious assault, burglary, grand larceny, and grand larceny auto.

Fox News Digital took the total number of violent crimes reported in those three precincts thus far this year (3,396) and compared it to the total number last year (2,609), according to the NYPD's Aug. 1-Aug. 8 report.
The analysis discovered that violent crime is up roughly 30% overall in the Northern Bronx compared to last year, with the biggest uptick in Precinct 50 with a 74% increase. That precinct, which includes the neighborhoods of Spuyten Duyvil, Fieldston and Riverdale, further recorded a 123.5% increase in robberies and a 153% increase in grand larceny auto since last year.

Smaller cities in Bowman's district, like New Rochelle and Rye, don't report as up-to-date information as New York City, yet reported a nominal decrease in some violent crimes between 2020 and 2021. In New Rochelle, violent crime was mostly down except for rape and burglary, which both increased. In Rye, burglaries were down, yet assaults remained the same throughout that time.
