In recent years, racial profiling has drawn the attention of state
and federal governments. In this book, racial profiling is defined
as the practice of targeting individuals for police or security
interdiction, detention, or other disparate treatment based
primarily on their race, ethnicity, or national origin in the
belief that certain minority groups are more likely to engage in
unlawful behaviour. Assertions that law enforcement personnel at
all levels unfairly target certain racial and ethnic groups,
particularly but not exclusively for traffic stops and searches,
have raised concerns about violations of the Constitution. The
major debate on racial profiling centres on whether the practice
should be prohibited entirely and whether data on traffic stops and
searches should be collected to determine if the practice is
occurring. This book presents the major issues, gathers available
data, and analyses important to understanding on the most dangerous
and divisive practices of our time.
