Focusing on the analysis of stop-and-frisk data in New York City, this book investigates racial profiling and unequal treatment among Black, White, and Hispanic individuals before and after a key constitutional ruling. It employs advanced statistical methods, including principal component analysis, to explore the spatial dynamics of stop locations in relation to race. By examining these factors, the research aims to clarify whether the disparities in stops are due to racial bias or random occurrences, providing a deeper understanding of the implications of the ruling.
