A Feminist Critique of Police Stops examines the parallels between
stop-and-frisk policing and sexual harassment. An expert whose
writing, teaching and community outreach centers on the
Constitution's limits on police power, Howard Law Professor
Josephine Ross, argues that our constitutional rights are a mirage.
In reality, we can't say no when police seek to question or search
us. Building on feminist principles, Ross demonstrates why the
Supreme Court got it wrong when it allowed police to stop, search,
and sometimes strip-search people and call it consent. Using a wide
range of sources - including her law students' experiences with
police, news stories about Eric Garner, and Sandra Bland, social
science and the work of James Baldwin - Ross sheds new light on
policing. This book should be read by everyone interested in how
Court-approved police stops sap everyone's constitutional rights
and how this form of policing can be eliminated.
