Stop and frisk’s end didn’t cause a crime wave in New York City — a big win for reform

Last week Vox wrote, Stop and frisk’s end didn’t cause a crime wave in New York City — a big win for reform. "On Monday, the New York Daily News editorial board acknowledged that the end of ‘stop and frisk’ — the aggressive, controversial policing practice that New York City police previously used to stop, question, and frisk mostly innocent people on the street — did not lead to an increase in crime. The editorial board previously warned that a court’s ruling striking down stop and frisk as unconstitutional would lead to the end of a decades-long crime decline in New York City."

"The New York Daily News’s admission isn’t noteworthy just because an editorial board sucked up its pride and admitted it was wrong but also because it shows the potential win-win to policing reforms."
