Life under suspicion

Description

The NYPD stopped and frisked nearly 700,000 peple from 2011 in an effort to remove guns from the street. Critics point to the policy's fundamental failure since a gun was recovered in less than 1 percent of the cases. But a generation of black and Hispanic males -- who constitute 90 percent of those stopped -- is being criminalized and dehumanized as a result. EVC youth producers investigate this critical problem that impacts them so directly, speaking with political leaders, legal experts, and young people in neighborhoods across the city, in order to give a human face to this critical problem.
