NYC Mayor to pay criminals $1000 per month to not commit violence

The “Advance Peace” program will launch in one precinct in each borough and pair young people deemed at risk for involvement in gun crime — with formerly incarcerated mentors. The model pays a stipend of $1,000 a month for staying in the program along with bonuses for meeting agreed-upon life goals like obtaining a driver’s license or GED according to The Trace.
