But -- back everyone -- the keys to curbing gun violence be answered by reducing crime more effectively.

That's exactly how our next -- tackle crime back in the 1990s when he was head of the new York city police department so how do you do it.

-- -- -- -- -- former.

NYPD police commissioner also out in Los Angeles is welcome to -- that you need to thank you so you think that you like the symbolism.

Of president Obama's plan package that you say it all comes down to people's -- He -- -- -- mean that they.

To gun control has many facets to what -- assault weapons -- -- -- an element significant symbolism but the reality is what you wanna do is control behavior the behavior people.

And that's what we did in the ninety's -- -- this week I did in Los Angeles.

For seven years.

Crime is caused by people you focus on the behavior.

And one of the behavioral changes is -- that everybody that wants -- of fire on pastor basically submit to an ID check that's a form of behavior control.

A lot of flaws a lot of tools necessary but effectively what you're doing -- you're trying to control behavior.

Rights and you say that that supersedes.

Legislation I just want to show some crime stats from New York when you were in charge here in the ninety's so murders fell 70% -- that down 61.

Robbery down 55%.

Burglary down 53%.

What do -- do significantly about the.

In -- when we have a very assertive police force for the very large police force but did the same thing in Los Angeles with a small police force over the same period of China and the crime reduction in LA is about the same.

You focus the police on controlling -- just such action -- change.

In the subways in New York duration it was epidemic in the early nineties we began arresting fare this.

This -- gun controls in the country -- system in the Bronx and has some of the highest violence levels in the city.

31% of people involved in gun related violence end up being punished in Manhattan it's in the sixties -- seventies.

So that's in your -- the difference a real quickly there's this a new standard that the New York police department.

Might be using eventually.

To find concealed weapons on people -- can actually see them using this new kind of device it's a prototype though is it anywhere near to coming to reality.

Don't do as best I can show the news accounts yesterday.

In the places is because -- -- -- is here on the set.

But it's a technology that's intended to be out of keep focused on in Syria and determine if people had -- if any of them partially carrying a firearm.

Something maybe one affected -- with Jack Maple -- she is going we're putting in NYPD.

-- a half dozen bloodhounds put a sign on the mug on detection dog and walk around the neighborhood with a dog act guarantees people wouldn't be sitting.

And continental us behavioral way of approaching that and you've got the job done in both of those cities -- Bill Bratton former and YC police commissioner and -- -- way.

Great to -- -- thank you.
