Abstract
Despite significant declines in the reported use of stop and frisk and the hope for post-litigation policing reform, it is evident that there are a number of ways in which aggressive, discriminatory policing remains a concern in New York City and in other cities around the nation. This Article suggests that legal advocates must understand and promote the role of narrative in their efforts to address the criminalization of vulnerable communities. Specifically, the transformative nature of outsider narratives from the anti-¬stop and frisk context provides valuable insights for mobilization lawyering against racialized policing.
