What are you using as a basis to make this claim? If broken windows policing isn't causing this, and stop and frisk in NY didn't cause this, then what?
The overall level of despair that a Trump presidency would result in a lot of "shocking" behavior---just a gut feeling, really

From reddit:

I want to tell y'all a story. I am an attorney in New York City, and I used to teach criminal procedure / evidence elective classes to highschoolers in the Bronx as a pro bono project. We all know about stop and frisk, know it's probably unconstitutional, and at it is now technically a dead policy.

I was teaching a class of 25 students (about 20 male, all black or Hispanic) about searches and seizures, and I wanted to use the random searches they conduct in subways as a vehicle for discussion. So I asked, "have any of you been searched by a police officer in the last year in the subway?"

All 25 of them raised their hands. Most of them stated that they had been searched multiple times, some said dozens of times in the last year. These kids were like, 13-15 years old. I have lived in New York City for three years. I am white. I have never been searched. The two white lawyers with me have never been searched, both have lived here longer.

What do you think that does to a kid, to their perception of the world, and police, and their rights and their autonomy, that at 13-15 years old, that police have patted them down and gone through their backpack on the way to school, that police do that to all their friends, that it happens on a weekly or monthly basis? How fukked is that?

In light of this, I view criminal justice as a subsidiary of economic justice.

:what:

If you give people economic prosperity, criminal behaviour will decrease. Make people feel like they have a stake in their community, through home ownership, employment, and generational wealth, and you'll see them start regulating themselves. It's what all other prosperous minority communities do.

:snoop: republicans ain't giving black people anything, but jail time. you think the same donald trump that discriminates in his own housing developments will have a care in the world when black communities get pushed into squalor in favor of gentrification of the more prosperous parts of town? dahell wrong with you? the republican platform is built around policies that reduce the rights, freedoms, and opportunity for black people. and idgaf about other minority communities. they are not oppressed like us and many of them don't align or relate to our issues.

Hillary's neoliberal economic philosophy is worse for the economic prosperity of African-Americans than Trump's protectionism.

re-brand racism as "protectionism" brehs. :stopitslime:

No way I could cast my single vote for Hillary.......but it's proposals like that and having Guliani as potential DOJ head that just makes you wonder what difference does it make. Still a hundred times better choice than HillRod, but cotdamn :snoop:.....

Maybe David Duke on the Supreme Court while were at it and the second SCOTUS seat to Christie.
Trump will be 71 next summer and will probably croak in office if elected and his VP is Conservative Christian lunatic.

You're a joke.
