"No policing tactic has been more controversial than "stop and frisk", whereby police officers stop, question, and frisk citizens whom they may view as potential suspects on the streets. In Stop and Frisk, Michael D. White and Henry F. Fradella provide the first in-depth history and analysis of this much-abused tactic, culminating in the 2013 landmark court ruling that found that the New York City Police Department's stop and frisk program was unconstitutional. White and Fradella tell the story of how and why this happened, proposing concrete strategies that every police department can follow to better serve the public. A hard-hitting yet nuanced analysis, Stop and Frisk shows how this controversial tactic can be used by police officers in a way that respects the rights and needs of citizens." -- Publisher's description
