About the Issue
The NYPDs stop-and-frisk practices raise serious
concerns over racial profiling, illegal stops and privacy
rights.
The Departments own reports on its Stop-and-Frisk
activity confirm what many people in communities ofcolor across the city have long known:
The police are stopping hundreds of thousands of law
abiding New Yorkers every year, and the vast majority are
black and Latino.

Stop and Frisk Can Lead to Police Brutality
Stop and Frisk creates tension between the group being
targeted and the police.
Can lead to excessive force or police brutality.
As blacks and Latinos are increasingly targeted, more
questions arise regarding officers intent and cultural
sensitivity training.

The Impact of Police Brutality On Victims
Police Brutality is defined as unmerited, excessive and
aggressive abuse.
It is a phenomenon that causes irreparable harm to its
victims.
The abuse may be physical or psychological, and the
victims can feel the effects of this abuse for a lifetime.
These effects include not only physical wounds, but also
psychological ones.
In some cases, the community also experiences the impact
of police brutality on its victims.

Community Impact
Police abuse and misconduct affects communities in manydifferent aspects.
One reason is the simple fact the members of the
community lose trust in the system that we have set up to
protect us. Another powerful impact is the cycle it creates for future
generations of minorities.

Community Aspirations
What do the communities of color want with respect to being
stopped by the police?
They want to be treated with respect; to feel safe and
confident that they were stopped because of their behavior
and not because of the color of their skin
Up until this point I have largely ignored the disparities in
the groups that are mostly affected by Stop and Frisk
Communities of color see this issue as a pivotal one in
evaluating the practice.
The evidence from legal actions, media coverage and
other sources suggests that many black and Latinos are
concerned, frustrated, and angry about these disparities.

Communities Efforts
Civilian Review Boards consist of persons who are not policeofficers.
They review complaints against police and recommenddisciplinary actions.
By 1997, nearly 75% of the largest U.S. cities had civilian review
procedures. The boards try to restrain problem cops who engagein brutality, harassment, and other forms of citizen abuse.
Additionally, they strive to ensure an impartial investigation of allcitizen complaints.
In practice, however, departments often ignore citizens'
recommendations. During the mid 1990s, the New York Police Department failed to
take action on 33% - 50% of the police misconduct cases that hadbeen substantiated by an independent civilian review board.

What Can Be Done?
Increase the education requirement for officers from a high
school diploma to a bachelors degree.
Having the ability to administer that level of force should
require a superior understanding of the complexities
involved including race, class, gender, violence, etc.
These things have multifarious ways of impinging on
effective communication and can hinder the officers
ability to facilitate respectful and effective interactions.
Pursue an aggressive civilian review board as a safeguardcould work to amend the perception of the police force.
Active Community Support through peaceful rallies,
protests, and demonstrations.
