I am coming a bit late to this, but I do have a question.

Sunset, your graphs show a precipitous drop in crime between 1990 and 2000, before stop and frisk was instituted (or at least before it was intensified under Bloomberg). That drop occurred nationwide. The graphs then show relative stability in the crime rate during the period when the highest number were stopped and frisked.

Do you have any evidence that stop and frisk does anything other than make conservatives feel safer and harass people who look like felons (i.e., blacks)?
