Is Stop And Frisk Racial Profiling?

        I would like to do my research paper on Stop and Frisk. The Stop and Frisk program is a New York City Police Department's practice of temporarily detaining, questioning and at times searching civilians on the street for weapons and other contraband. This topic interests me because of the racial profiling that is associated with it. Even though, the Police Department's records show that 9 out of 10 people that are stopped and frisked are innocent, African American and Latino young men have been, and continue to be  the sole targets of this program.
