The facts about stop-and-frisk in New York City

Latest information: At President's initial debate, Mr. Donald Trump repled that deterrence and striking in New York again is an effective deterrent, arguing that the policy was not judged to be unconstitutional. It is ineffective and is ruled as unconstitutional. Update as follows

Since the end of 2009, the police are reported as "in danger at a standstill" in New York City (and Philadelphia) in particular. Criminal justice data consistently indicates that the New York City Police Department is blocking and striking thousands of people. Many of them were intercepted many times a year. There are two aspects to the question raised: (1) these stay are made without the necessary "reasonable doubt" and (2) the cancellation is the result of racial discrimination or "ethnic analysis". In 2011, the police in New York intercepted nearly 700,000 people, 87% of which were black or Latin American-Americans, more than half of the 8.7 million people were investigated.

The latest data from New York City also shows that contrary to critic warnings, implementing smoke-free and harassing by the Constitution does not lead to an increase in the crime rate. The federal court ruled that the discontinuance of the New York City plan, which came back to police in 2016, dropped by 98% from 2012. Despite the sharp drop in the number of stops, the crime rate has not increased accordingly. Indeed, in New York City, the crime rate has declined to a low level since the 1960s and urges some critics to change their views.

Suspicting search not only in New York City will result in suspicious results. For our favorite "downtown" targets in Chicago, this approach has little effect and the goal is under the city police department stop. Nevertheless, it has produced many racial profiling - this image has made Hudling judge a judge illegal in New York. At the same time, in 2014, the parking lot / parking fee in Chicago was four times the peak time in New York.

Not all bad policies are new. The current Mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg, advertised the infamous "Stop and Search" program as an active anti-gun strategy. In 2013, Bloomberg claimed that the shooting down of 8,000 guns in the city of New York City was blocked and plundered since 2002. This seems to be much, but the police in New York City stopped and there were around 4 million people - black and brown men with guns had a hit of about 0.2%. In the course of the program, the New York Police stopped more young blacks in the city, most of them did not have weapons and were found to be irrelevant for any crime. Since the interruption of the program violent crime in New York has continued to decline for decades and obstructs the claim that this strategy is effective, not to mention reducing violent crime.
