Chapter 5: Police Versus the Community? Chapter 6: The Collapse of Stop & Frisk Chapter 7: The Great Crime Spike of 2016 Chapter 8: Assessing Stop & Frisk Epilogue Data Appendix References IndexReviewsWhat was the cost of stop & search preventing an estimated 703 murders over 180 months in Chicago (4 murders per month), primarily in minority areas? Skogan's unprecedented analysis allows us to ask whether that price could be lower, avoiding both under-policing and over-policing for 'just right' targeting of the most volatile strategy police use against weapons crime. * Lawrence W. Sherman, Cambridge Centre for Evidence-Based Policing * A richly detailed report of police stop & frisk rates as a primary street policing strategy in Chicago over a decade. It is a careful and sophisticated study that can provide policy analysts with tools for assessing and improving the effectiveness and fairness of fundamental tactics of urban street policing. * Franklin E.
