Dr. Jan Haldipur’s ethnographic research on the NYPD’s “Stop, Question, & Frisk” published

Dr. Jan Haldipur’s ethnographic research, entitled: “Parenting the Dispossessed: Raising the Children of “Stop, Question, and Frisk,” examines the NYPD’s “Stop, Question, and Frisk” policy and its impact on parenting of youth impacted by such policies. Dr. Haldipur’s article can now be read in Race and Justice.

Overview of the paper: in the early 2000s, the NYPD implemented policies that called for the aggressive use of “Stop, Question, and Frisk,” in neighborhoods deemed “high crime.” Drawing on approximately 3 years of intensive ethnographic fieldwork in and around three precincts in the southwest Bronx, the current research reveals how parenting youth who live in such neighborhoods is impacted by police activity.
