As I’m sure you are aware, there has been a lot of talk in the papers recently about “stop and frisk” policies at the NYPD. For many of us living in Brownstone Brooklyn, it’s not always evident how these policies impact our day-to-day life.

When you dig into this issue a bit deeper there’s a lot more beneath the surface and the findings are particularly disturbing. In the Park Slope area, for example, there were over 8,000 of these “stop & frisks” last year!

A town hall meeting will be held at Congregation Beth Elohim, 274 Garfield Place, Brooklyn , NY 11215 on June 4th at 7pm to discuss this important topic. The forum will include a great group of guest speakers including New York City Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, Council Member Brad Lander, Dr. Delores Jones-Brown of John Jay College, Udi Ofer of NYCLU, and more.

Seating is limited so please RSVP online at http://tinyurl.com/bklyn-rsvp if you wish to attend.

Thank you,

if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me at

Stop and frisk is not the only community/NYPD interaction that demands a discussion in Park Slope. The lack of response to the sexual attacks and last year's fiasco where the NYPD told women to not wear skirts also should be addressed.

Daniel S. Nagin — “Imprisonment and Crime: Can both Be Reduced?”

Professor Daniel S. Nagin of Carnegie Mellon University talks with Vera Director Michael Jacobson about reducing both crime and incarceration through sentencing reform, reallocating criminal justice resources, and better policing. Professor Nagin stresses that evolving public policy in this area should balance public safety with civil liberties issues.

Nagin is the Teresa and H. John Heinz III University Professor of Public Policy and Statistics at Carnegie Mellon University. His research focuses on the evolution of criminal and antisocial behaviors over the life course, the deterrent effect of criminal and non-criminal penalties on illegal behaviors, and the development of statistical methods for analyzing longitudinal data.

For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

Perhaps what Park Slope needs is a Libertarian or Tea Party demonstration against such needless government intrusionism.

When are they going to stop up and get the job done?

If the Libertarians stand for anything, they should be rushing to the defense of the people having sex behind Key Foods.
