About Rudy Giuliani

  • Rudolph William Louis Giuliani (, Italian: [d?u'lja?ni]; born May 28, 1944) is an American politician, attorney, and public speaker who served as the 107th Mayor of New York City from 1994 to 2001.
  • He currently acts as an attorney to President Donald Trump.
  • Politically first a Democrat, then an Independent in the 1970s, and a Republican since the 1980s, Giuliani served as United States Associate Attorney General from 1981 to 1983.
  • That year he became the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, holding the position until 1989.When Giuliani took office as Mayor of New York City, he appointed a new police commissioner, William Bratton, who applied the broken windows theory of urban decay, which holds that minor disorders and violations create a permissive atmosphere which leads to further and more serious crimes which can threaten the safety of a city; to prevent major crime, the theory holds, the police should enforce seemingly minor "quality-of-life" laws such as those outlawing public drinking, littering, and jay-walking.
  • Within several years, Giuliani was widely credited for making major improvements in the city's quality of life and lowering the rate of violent crimes.
  • While Giuliani was still Mayor, he ran for the United States Senate in 2000; however, he withdrew from the race upon learning of his prostate cancer diagnosis.
