Public Advocate Williams highlights the racial disparities in the Criminal Group Database and draws parallels to stop-and-frisk practices.

  • 99% of those in the CGD are Black or Hispanic, 98% are male, and it includes children as young as 13
  • In 2023, 59% of Terry stops were of Black people and 30% were Hispanic, in a city that is 36% white
  • Williams argues this suggests disproportionate targeting of certain communities
