What Do We Know About NYC’s Stop and Frisk Program?: A Spatial and Statistical Analysis. Evans Douglas, C. M. Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal, 1(2):130--144, 2014.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
Our project employs data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the New York Civil Liberties Union on 2011 NYPD stops and frisks. In moving beyond the descriptive stage, this research utilizes a spatially centered analytical approach to measure and identify geographic clusters of high Stop and Frisk rates across New York City police precincts and subsequent spatial regression to link variations in those rates to community level characteristics. Results indicate both significant spatial clusters of high rates of race-specific stops and a series of statistically significant relationships of those variations to similar variations in explanatory variables.
