A Columbia University statistical analysis of NYPD stop-and-frisk data found that when comparing stops to DCJS arrests, Blacks were stopped 23% more often than Whites and Hispanics were stopped 39% more often than Whites [2]. The ratio of stops to arrests was 1.24 for Whites, 1.54 for Blacks, and 1.72 for Hispanics, indicating disproportionate enforcement against minority communities [2]. This analysis controlled for relevant factors related to pedestrian and stop characteristics, highlighting the significance of implicit bias in these encounters [2][6].
