Many racial minority communities claim profiling occurs frequently
in their neighborhoods. Police authorities, for the most part, deny
that they engage in racially biased police tactics. A handful of
books have been published on the topic, but they tend to offer only
anecdotal reports offering little reliable insight. Few use a
qualitative methodological lens to provide the context of how
minority citizens experience racial profiling. Racial Profiling:
They Stopped Me Because I'm ---! places minority citizens who
believe they have been racially profiled by police authorities at
the center of the data. Using primary empirical studies and
extensive, in-depth interviews, the book draws on nearly two years
of field research into how minorities experience racial profiling
by police authorities. The author interviewed more than 100 racial
and ethnic minority citizens. Citing 87 of these cases, the book
examines each individual case and employs a rigorous qualitative
phenomenological method to develop dominant themes and determine
their associated meaning. Through an exploration of these themes,
we can learn: What racial profiling is, its historical context, and
how formal legal codes and public policy generally define it The
best methods of data collection and the advantages of collecting
racial profiling data How certain challenges can prevent data
collection from properly identifying racial profiling or bias-based
policing practices Data analysis and methods of determining the
validity of the data The impact of pretextual stops and the effect
of Whren v. United States A compelling account of how minority
citizens experience racial profiling and how they ascribe and give
meaning to these experiences, the book provides a candid discussion
of what the findings of the research mean for the police, racial
minority citizens, and future racial profiling research. Michael L.
Birzer was recently interviewed on public radio about his book,
Racial Profiling: They Stopped Me Because I'm ---!
