Resource of the Week

Ending Discriminatory Policing in NYC (2013)
In communities across New York City, NYPD tactics disproportionately impact young black and Latino men.

Published by the New York Civil Liberties Union, this fact sheet highlights crime statistics, reporting on school arrests and numbers from the NYPD's own stop-and-frisk database to tell the story of what hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers already know: that the NYPD must shift its focus to decreasing crime without destroying communities.
