LinkLinks DCist: New Stop-And-Frisk Data Still Shows Wide Racial Disparities In D.C. By Editor On Mar 5, 2020 Last updated Mar 5, 2020 16 Share The Metropolitan Police Department published a new set of stop-and-frisk data this week, confirming the racial disparities in enforcement found in the city’s first-ever release of such data last September. Nearly three-quarters of the police stops conducted between July 22 and December 31 last year—72 percent—were of black people, a roughly similar proportion as reported in the earlier release, even though black residents currently make up only 46 percent of D.C.’s population. 16 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
