CCR, which represents victims of the NYPD\u2019s racially discriminatory stop-and-frisk policies in a class action lawsuit, will receive more comprehensive data than the summary numbers released to the City Council yesterday and will provide those results as soon as they are available. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the preliminary numbers reported indicate a 21 percent rise in the number of New Yorkers being stopped by the police over the same period last year, with 88 percent of the New Yorkers stopped being Black and Hispanic. By contrast, from 2005 to 2008, approximately 80 percent of total stops made were of Blacks and Latinos, who comprise approximately 25 percent and 28 percent of New York City\u2019s total population, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>. . .<\/p>\n<p>Earlier data and other documents are available at www.ccrjustice\/stopandfrisk. A ruling by U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin required the NYPD to make public all raw stop-and-frisk data from 1998 through the present in relation to the case, <a href=\"http:\/\/ccrjustice.org\/ourcases\/current-cases\/floyd-et-al\">Floyd v.
