The stop-question-and-frisk program, also known as “stop-and-frisk” is a policy that was enacted in New York. In this policy, law enforcement has the right to stop and question a pedestrian and frisk them for weapons or other illegal items. Based off of statistics, personal statements, and the publics opinions, the stop and frisk policy has little to no effect on combatting and reducing crime.
