\nResearchers at Columbia University and Robin Hood find Black and Hispanic communities are over-policed; Race remains salient factor in NYPD police stops across city zip codes

NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A new Poverty Tracker Report<\/a> finds that Black New Yorkers are twice as likely as white New Yorkers to report that they or someone in their household was stopped by the police over the course of a year.<\/p>\n

The report, derived from Columbia University and Robin Hood<\/a>\u2019s ongoing longitudinal study of hardship and disadvantage among New Yorkers, finds higher rates of reported stops among New Yorkers living in higher-poverty zip codes than those living in lower-poverty areas. Importantly, the report finds that for white New Yorkers, where one lives affects the chances that they are stopped by police, but for Black and Hispanic New Yorkers, neighborhood poverty level makes little to no difference and race remains the salient factor.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite a commitment to end stop-and-frisk policing in New York City, poor, Black, and Hispanic people remain the most likely targets for police stops in New York City. This report\u2019s findings confirm the frustration so many express about policing and underscores the urgent need for serious and significant police reform,\u201d said Wes Moore, CEO of Robin Hood. \u201cThat is why I am working with colleagues from the New York Urban League and the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies to ensure community voices are heard in the Reform and Reinvention Collaborative.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Poverty Tracker study examines longitudinal data collected between 2015 and 2019 on the experiences of police stops by respondents among a representative sample of New York City residents. The report is not designed to track official police stops as defined by the NYPD, rather, it sheds light on individual, household, and community perspectives on how the police impact life in New York City.<\/p>\n
