A new study by the American Journal of Public Health has found that young men who experience multiple or intrusive stop and frisk encounters with police show higher rates of stress, anxiety and trauma compared to those who had fewer or no such encounter.

The study surveyed more than 1,200 men between the ages of 18 and 26 in New York during a six-month period from 2012 to 2013. The study says “Respondents reported high rates of police contact, although 80% of respondents reported being stopped 10 times or fewer.

The authors of the report conclude that “any benefits achieved by aggressive, proactive policing tactics may be offset by serious costs to individual and community health” and recommend that law enforcement officials use “less invasive tactics” to police neighborhoods. With a new mayor and police commissioner, New York had 72% fewer stops in 2013 than 2011 but reports indicate they are still singling out minorities and those in poor neighborhoods.
