NYTimes.com: 2 Opinions on Stop-and-Frisk Report by Al Baker and Joseph Goldstein

In 2003, the second year of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s first term, police officers confiscated 604 guns through 160,851 stop-and-frisk encounters: a success rate of one gun for every 266 stops.

Last year, the police seized 780 guns through 685,724 stop-and-frisk encounters, meaning that officers made 879 stops for each gun found.

Critics of the Police Department’s street-stop tactics, including the New York Civil Liberties Union, said the falling gun recovery rate was a sign that the department was stopping too many innocent people as it made an increasing number of street stops in minority neighborhoods.
