Rand Commission Releases Findings on NYPD Stop and Frisk
by Bob Hennelly
NEW YORK, NY November 21, 2007 —When it came out that close to 90% of the people stopped and frisked by New York City police in 2006 were either Black or Hispanic there was an uproar.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly denied the charges, but he commissioned an independent review by the Rand Corporation. Now the report is in. With us to talk about its findings is WNYC's Bob Hennelly.
