Sociologists and criminologists were impotently dissing the miraculous plunge in crime and murder in New York , America ’s largest and most storied city.

Author Peter Moskos has written a new book that boasts a rave review from author David Simon , whose works spawned the hit TV series Homicide: Life on the Street and The Wire, no less.

Moskos: The average faculty lounge criminologist does not talk to cops, typically doesn’t like cops and is firmly ensconced in an ivory tower with faddish ideas.

Moskos fears there are signs that some of the problems with the cops and the city itself are again plaguing the NYPD .

He blames uber-progressive former mayor Bill DeBlasio , whose disdain for the police is well-known.

New York has what Moskos calls the Taj Mahal of homeless shelters, packed with illegal immigrants.
