Stop and Frisk: The Use and Abuse of a Controversial Policing Tactic

警方在街頭停下來，質疑和激發他們可能視為潛在嫌疑人的普通公民。正如邁克爾·懷特和漢克·弗拉德拉在“停止和快速行動”中展示的第一個權威歷史和對這種策略的分析。我們的日常理解與這一警務策略的歷史和法律基礎之間存在著分歧。

Stop and Frisk講述瞭如何以及為什麼發生這種情況的故事，並提供了警察部門可以更好地為其公民服務的方式。他們還提供了一個令人信服的論據，即阻止和快速行動對紐約犯罪率的下降沒有太大貢獻。

21世紀的警務工作不但有法定的地位，而且也可以明智地用來幫助制止犯罪行為，尊重公民的權利和需要。還提供了對種族不公正的歷史的洞察。Stop和Frisk的差別分析顯示了，如何成為一種公正的警務行為，反過來又顯示瞭如何以公民的最佳利益執行。

While much of the book focuses on the NYPD’s use of stop and frisk, examples are also shown from police departments around the country, including Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Newark and Detroit. White and Fradella argue that not only does stop and frisk have a legal place in 21st-century policing but also that it can be judiciously used to help deter crime in a way that respects the rights and needs of citizens. They also offer insight into the history of racial injustice that has all too often been a feature of American policing’s history and propose concrete strategies that every police department can follow to improve the way they police. A hard-hitting yet nuanced analysis, Stop and Frisk shows how the tactic can be a just act of policing and, in turn, shows how to police in the best interest of citizens.
