It was in this position that he first gained national prominence by prosecuting numerous high-profile cases, including the successful prosecutions of Wall Street figures Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken for insider trading .Giuliani attracted some criticism for arranging very public arrests of people, then dropping charges for lack of evidence rather than going to trial.

Giuliani also campaigned on what he perceived to be the unchecked expansion of the city's budget and the lack of managerial competence of incumbent David Dinkins. While Dinkins had frequently and eloquently voiced his affection for New York City diversity while in office, his tenure bore witness to anti-Semitic rioting in Crown Heights and an Al Sharpton -led boycott of Korean businesses in Brooklyn .Giuliani promised a return to social order, addressing day-to-day issues rather than past or imminent crises: The prevalence of homeless panhandlers on streets and subways.
