Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In New York City, arrests for smoking marijuana in public view (MPV) grew from under a thousand in 1990 to become the most common misdemeanor charge from 2000 through 2003. The 50,000 MPV arrests in 2000 accounted for 15% of all NYC arrests. A sequence of maps indicates that there was a major shift over time in the location of these arrests. From 1992 to 1995, the largest percentage of MPV arrests were made by NYC transit police (13%-36%), who patrol the city’s subway system. This is consistent with the NYPD’s emphasis on quality-of-life (QOL) policing, arresting persons for those minor behaviors that affect other’s enjoyment of public spaces. However in 1996, MPV arrests by NYC transit police dropped to 3%; the NYC housing police (who patrol low-income public housing projects) became the leading enforcer (11%); and high enforcement regions outside of Manhattan emerged. This geographical pattern suggests that MPV enforcement had shifted from QOL policing to general drug abuse control with its largest impact in low-income areas. Of further note, the vast majority (82%) of MPV arrestees throughout this growth period 1992-2003 were either black or Hispanic. The authors suggest that NYC consider scaling back its MPV enforcement, in light of the large impact on minorities in low-income areas and the program’s decreased emphasis on improving the city’s quality of life.
