The Center for Policing Equity (CPE) announces the publication of a new white paper titled “Compounding Anti-Black Racial Disparities in Police Stops.” This paper provides an overview of racial disparities in the multiple decisions police officers make when interacting with the public during vehicle stops.

The Skanner News – Police Stop More Black Drivers, While Speed Cameras Issue Unbiased Tickets − New Study From Chicago
Traffic stops by Chicago police have more than doubled over the past nine years in what the American Civil Liberties Union, a civil rights group, is calling the “new stop-and-frisk.”
Stop and frisk is when officers stop and search people based on “reasonable suspicion” that they are involved in criminal activity. The practice has been documented to disproportionately target Black and Latino people – not only in Chicago but also in New York and across the United States. In Chicago, it has declined sharply since a 2015 reform agreement between the ACLU and the Chicago Police Department.
