		<description><![CDATA[Increased Use of Stop and Frisk Leads to Increased Constitutional Abuses, Legitimizes Racial Profiling

By: Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair

Law enforcement officials claim “stop and frisk” is one of their most effective crime prevention practices. Civil libertarians, however, claim that “stop and frisk” is being used as another racial profiling tool against hundreds of thousands of innocent citizens each day across the country. The Associated Press recently released statistics showing that law enforcement stop and question more than one million people each year in the nation’s largest cities—a figure that reflects a sharp increase in the use of “stop and frisk” over the past few years. The AP figures revealed that most of the individuals stopped and frisked were black and Hispanic men, most of whom were innocent of any criminal wrongdoing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Prosecutors and Law Enforcement Officials Manipulate Investigations, Defendants Receive Greater Sentences

By: Houston Criminal Attorney John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair

What is sentencing entrapment?

In a syndicated column that appeared in the Houston Chronicle (July 23, 2009), Larry Frankel, the legislative counsel for the ACLU in Washington, D.C., called sentencing entrapment “a little-known phenomenon in our criminal justice system” and it occurs “when the government through its agents or informants makes a person, who may have a predisposition to engage in one sort of criminal activity, to engage in more serious criminal activity that exposes that person to harsher punishment.”]]></description>
