Research Study Finds Black and Hispanic Residents Experience Higher Stop-and-Frisk Rates

A study published in PubMed Central found that over the study period, 43% of participants reported experiencing stop-and-frisk, with higher rates among Black (47%) and Hispanic/Latinx (45%) participants compared to White participants (38%) [4]. The findings indicate that being Black or Latino correlates with a higher likelihood of being frisked and subjected to non-weapon force, even after controlling for relevant factors [6]. Latinos and Blacks were frisked at higher rates compared to Whites and experienced both any force and non-weapon force more frequently [6].
