Mulvihill, the Essex County, New Jersey prosecutor.[6] On the motor vehicle theft problem he said: "You have impoverished youth growing up in a society that measures your value by what kind of car you drive ... these youngsters have the ability to steal expensive cars that they feel gives them instant status in their community ... you give me 100 [new jail] beds and I'll cut the car theft problem in Newark in half".[7][12] The task force made hundreds of arrests for motor vehicle theft. This led to a 20 percent reduction in motor vehicle thefts in the Newark, New Jersey metropolitan area.[1] In 1995 he the Union County Child Advocacy Center, in Elizabeth, as a shelter for victims of child abuse.[12] He was diagnosed with cancer in March 1995. On the subject he said: "Being with a child at a school concert becomes more important than sitting at a dinner table with the governor, especially for a public person."[8] He died of esophageal cancer on September 21, 1995 in Westfield, New Jersey.[9][10] LegacyThe New Jersey County Prosecutor's Association has created the Andrew K.
