“Gangs” of New York Police Department Data
This week on Surveillance And The City, we discuss NYPD's so-called "gang database," which the Department claims is not racially biased despite chilling evidence to the contrary: The database is 98.5% people of color, the majority of individuals being Black. We also provide a brief overview of the fraught history of gang policing in the U.S., as well as discussion on similar "gang databases" in cities beyond New York.
