Gender bias in informants and boots on the ground in Buffalo NY: naming, shaming, and costs to high‑risk victims
Update: 2025-11-30
Description
Gendered slurs and shorthand labels such as “Sinaloa members,” “prostitutes,” “blowjob queens,” “sugar mama,” “Uber,” “sex slave,” “Ubereats,” “crazy,” and others have circulated in Buffalo over the past six years. When those words come from informants, patrol officers, prosecutors, or community boots on the ground, they do more than insult: they reshape investigations, block services, and increase danger for high‑risk victims and domestic violence survivors.
