Even as violent crime rates in New York have dropped dramatically in the past 15 years, this controversial police procedure continues to divide law enforcement and community groups. Is "stop-and-frisk" an effective preemptive strategy for crime prevention or a case of racial profiling? The Greene Space partners with The New Press to present panelists on both sides of the issue in a discussion about how "stop-and-frisk" affects New Yorkers in their everyday lives.
Panelists include:
- David Kennedy - director of the Center for Crime Prevention and Control at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City.
- Paul Butler - former public prosecutor and Professor of Law at George Washington University. 12 Angry Men contributor. Professor Butler is one of the nation's most frequently consulted scholars on issues of race and criminal justice.
- Robin Steinberg - Founder and Executive Director of the Bronx Defenders
- Garry McCarthy - Police Director, Newark, NJ
- Heather MacDonald - Manhattan Institute. Mac Donald's work at City Journal has canvassed a range of topics including homeland security, immigration, policing and "racial" profiling, homelessness and homeless advocacy, educational policy, the New York courts, and business improvement districts.
