STOP AND FRISK POLICING
Introduction
The paper highlights the Stop and Frisk policing practise that is adopted throughout
the United States. However, the paper focuses on the development of the process particularly
in Philadelphia and in New York. The research takes a look at the historical aspects that have
developed between the adoption of the process and the manner in which it had progressed
throughout the United States. Despite the cease of racism in the country, certain parts still
discriminate between the people with darker skin colour than that of the people with fairer
skin colour. The amendments based on the development and implementation of the process
are undertaken so that focus can be made in trying to identify any recommendations that can
help in the stoppage of the Stop and Frisk process.
Research focus
The research focuses on the manner in which Stop and Frisk came from and the
historical background behind the success of the programme. The person behind the initiation
of the act and the person supported the act are taken into consideration in the research. At the
same time the growth of the Stop and Frisk in specific areas such as New York and
Philadelphia are highlighted so that a specific set of rules regarding the application of the
process can be understood. The individuals that suffer from the practise are highlighted with
statistical highlights that define the success or failure of the program. The result of the
practise and the present condition of the country, with special emphasis to the two cities are
focused on the research.
