CompStat Management in the NYPD

No, it surely does non. Compstat s a system obsessed with numbers, and while in some areas it is a great tactic for kicking the workforce into shape, it can become tyrannical in the pursuit of those numerically motivated results. Was Stop and Frisk the major reader to crime drop from 1993 to 2003? In Henrys The COMPSTAT Paradigm there is not one instance of Stop and Frisk throughout the entire book.It chance onms today that a mass of the controversy in the NYPD is revolving around a practice that isnt necessarily engrained in the very structure that defines the crime stopping law enforce custodyt gency, it is simply one of the manoeuvre that has taken a step too far in the publics eye. As someone who studies criminal Justice and believes in the system I do see the importance of procedures like stop and frisk but, it is easy to see in a city that is so liberal in almost every complaisance that this type of conduct can be controversial.In studying Compstat I have learned that the entire purpose of it is to be flexible to the systems needs and that if a authoritative strategy does not have the desired effect it should be revised or removed if need be. The attitude that has been given off by the NYPD and Commissioner Kelly is not the one that supports that type of ethic it has been one of impedance where those who speak out against it are discredited by whatever means necessary.Commissioner Kelly, through his thick headedness on this issue has alienated a large portion of NYs inhabitants because they believe they are always under persecution because of the unjust ways that stop, question, and frisk violates their personal privacy and pride. To articulate that stop, question, and frisk is n impartial tactic is a farce, 85% of all people stopped were of black or Hispanic ethnicities but only stupefy up around nalt tn population. Last year, the N made more stops of young black men than there are young black men in the citys population. 58,406 young black men live in New York City and the NYPD made 168,126 stops. (Stop and Frisk By the Numbers, Forbes) For a system so caught up in the numbers I dont see why it is so difficult for them to interpret these numbers and do something constructive about it instead of stone walling both attempt at criticism. Compstat over the past gibe decades has been an incredibly positive practice for the NYPD and other law enforcement agencies alike but over the past couple years we have seen more and more opposition to it.It is time that they revisit the drawing board and get back to the roots of what was the most flexible and reactive law enforcement management policy the world has ever seen. On a more personal note, as someone who does believe in the system I do say with great confidence that stop, question, and frisk is something that needs work before I can accept it as an ethical ractice.
