The Untold Truth Of Rudy Giuliani

Rudy Giuliani has always been a controversial figure. He has received credit for "cleaning up" New York City and leading the city through 9/11, but has also been criticized for a number of controversial stances and unhinged television appearances. Read on for some facts about this divisive figure.

Anyone who's ever caught an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is likely very familiar with the "perp walk," when people who are suspected but not yet convicted of committing a crime are paraded in front of the media as they enter a courthouse. Per Reuters, the practice has been called "downright undemocratic" and has often been criticized.

As Reuters also explained in 2011, the "perp walk" gained prominence as a practice during Rudy Giuliani's time as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York in the 1980s, when he was responsible for prosecuting high-profile criminal cases. Criminal law professor Laurie Levenson told the outlet that Giuliani made an "art form" out of parading defendants in front of the cameras.
