Earlier this year, the NYPD revealed that 42,334 individuals were on its “gang database,” officially named the “criminal group database.” 95% of those listed are people of color, which raises all kinds of questions: How does the NYPD define “gang” and “gang members”? How is the list being used by the Department? What other resources can be used to circumvent gang violence? To address some of these questions, and to talk about what’s being done to introduce transparency into the Department’s use of the database, community organizer and writer Josmar Trujillo and activist Taylonn Murphy join MacKenzie in the studio.
