Winner, 2019 Goddard Riverside Stephan Russo Book Prize for Social
Justice, given by the Goddard Riverside Community Center The impact
of stop-and-frisk policing on a South Bronx community What's it
like to be stopped and frisked by the police while walking home
from the supermarket with your young children? How does it feel to
receive a phone call from your fourteen-year-old son who is in the
back of a squad car because he laughed at a police officer? How
does a young person of color cope with being frisked several times
a week since the age of 15? These are just some of the stories in
No Place on the Corner, which draws on three years of intensive
ethnographic fieldwork in the South Bronx before and after the
landmark 2013 Floyd v. City of New York decision that ruled that
the NYPD's controversial "stop and frisk" policing methods were a
violation of rights. Through riveting interviews and with a humane
eye, Jan Haldipur shows how a community endured this aggressive
policing regime. Though the police mostly targeted younger men of
color, Haldipur focuses on how everyone in the
neighborhood-mothers, fathers, grandparents, brothers and sisters,
even the district attorney's office-was affected by this intense
policing regime and thus shows how this South Bronx community as a
whole experienced this collective form of punishment. One of
Haldipur's key insights is to demonstrate how police patrols
effectively cleared the streets of residents and made public spaces
feel off-limits or inaccessible to the people who lived there. In
this way community members lost the very 'street corner' culture
that has been a hallmark of urban spaces. This profound social
consequence of aggressive policing effectively keeps neighbors out
of one another's lives and deeply hurts a community's sense of
cohesion. No Place on the Corner makes it hard to ignore the
widespread consequences of aggressive policing tactics in major
cities across the United States.
