This is in inverse proportion to the demographics of Bloomfield, which is roughly 60% white, 18.5% African American, and 24.5% Latino.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol class=\"bulletlist\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Remarkably, this racial disproportion was found not only across the board but in various subgroupings \u2013 including Bloomfield itself, whose African American and Latino residents accounted for 73% of Bloomfield residents observed before the court, as compared with only 24% white. Similarly, a racial disproportion in ticketing also existed across the five predominantly white border towns. Although the numbers are small (n=39), 64% of those ticketed with residences in the predominantly white border towns were African American or Latino, while only 33% were white.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol class=\"bulletlist\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In looking for targeted areas, the database showed that an overwhelming majority of tickets were issued in the southernmost third of Bloomfield, which borders on Newark and East Orange, cities with large populations of minorities: Newark is 26.3% white, 52.3% African American and 33.8% Latino; East Orange is 4% white, 88.5% African American and 7.9% Latino. <em>(see map, right, excluding areas where less than 100 tickets written; Broad St., which runs through all three regions, addresses not marked; JFK Drive, two regions, also not marked.)<\/em> The triangle of Bloomfield that juts into Newark and East Orange alone accounted for more than 50% of the tickets issued in the lower third of Bloomfield.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol class=\"bulletlist\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">With African Americans and Latinos accounting for 78% of observed court appearances, such individuals were cited 7,566 times during the year of the study. At an average cost of $137 apiece, not counting surcharges, the total paid by African Americans and Latinos would amount to more than $1 million in revenue for Bloomfield.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol class=\"bulletlist\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Residents of Newark and East Orange, who were observed to have received 29% of all tickets issued in Bloomfield, would account for $400,000 in revenue to the Township.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol class=\"bulletlist\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Bloomfield Municipal Court\u2019s budgeted salaries were projected to have more than doubled in 2015, from $350,600 in 2014 to an estimated $760,794 in 2015. In 2014, Bloomfield received $1,116,081.00 in traffic court revenue; from July 2015 to September 2015, Bloomfield\u2019s moving violation ticket revenue was up 138%.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"||CPIMAGE:465447|0|\" title=\"Tickets Issued in Bloomfield NJ by Neighborhood\" src=\"http:\/\/law.shu.edu\/images\/_Bloomfield4.jpg\" alt=\"Tickets Issued in Bloomfield NJ by Neighborhood\" width=\"250\" height=\"375\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"0\" \/>\u201cOur study revealed what essentially amounts to a &#8216;wall&#8217; of police action erected against the Newark and East Orange border areas and their predominantly African American and Latino residents,\u201d noted report co-author and Seton Hall Law student Jason Castle &#8217;18. \u201cAs an African American I wasn\u2019t shocked, but I was disheartened to see the numbers in black and white; as a law student, I was dismayed to see the law being used as a weapon against the people; and as a Councilman from nearby Teaneck, NJ, I was appalled when I researched and compiled the budget, ticket revenue and salary projections for the Township of Bloomfield. Those numbers told a story that I wished I\u2019d never heard.\u201d <em>(Map on left same criteria as above.)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Professor Denbeaux has been active in civil rights and human rights issues throughout his career. \u201cRacial discrimination used to be obvious and life-threatening \u2013 \u2018the wolf at the door,\u2019\u201d Professor Denbeaux observed. \u201cIt sometimes still is, but now it\u2019s more often insidious and corrosive, eating away at both the dignity and quality of life of people of color \u2013 it\u2019s the \u2018termites in the floor.\u2019&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cWhen a black man is stopped by the police, both he and the cop know that anything the cop writes on a ticket, or claims to be true, will be upheld by a Traffic Court judge,\u201d Professor Denbeaux concluded. \u201cWhen that happens repeatedly over a protracted period of time, it takes a toll that you can\u2019t measure in dollars.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Center for Policy &amp; Research invites law students nationwide to contact it and replicate the investigation process within their own communities. Professor Denbeaux recalls some of the most important work in the civil rights movement was done by students. \u201cVoter registration may not have been glamorous, but students did it day after day, month after month and it worked,\u201d notes Denbeaux. \u201cSeton Hall students have shown that that can happen today, too. Municipal courts are the ground zero and proving grounds for racial profiling and discrimination today. This is where it all starts. Whether in Ferguson or Bloomfield, it\u2019s predatory, endemic, money hungry and wrong \u2014 and it has to stop. Go to the courtrooms and count, and then publish your findings. Then let the town and court give an accounting of its practices \u2014 if it can.\u201d To read the report for further findings and methodology, visit <a id=\"http:\/\/ssrn.com\/abstract=2760382|\" href=\"http:\/\/ssrn.com\/abstract=2760382\">law.shu.edu\/bloomfieldtraffic<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"||CPIMAGE:465460|0|\" title=\"Center for Policy &amp; Research team2\" src=\"http:\/\/law.shu.edu\/images\/Center_for_Policy_-_Resarch_3672x267.jpg\" alt=\"Center for Policy &amp; Research team3\" width=\"672\" height=\"267\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>Pictured, from left: Professor Mark Denbeaux, Lakisha Finkelstein \u201817, Simon Ostrovsky, Richard Rivera, Johanna Carmona \u201917, and Shannon Doyle \u201817.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>Seton Hall University School of Law, New Jersey\u2019s only private law school, and a leading Catholic law school in the New York metropolitan area, is dedicated to preparing students for the practice of law through excellence in scholarship and teaching, with a strong focus on clinical education.
