the informative text “Traveling while Arab”, Profiling means “A person wearing a beard or a hijab may be questioned about his or her constitutionally protected beliefs and activities even when not suspected of any wrongdoing.” Racial profiling is a form of racism in which police officers or security officials use race, ethnicity or nation origin to identify a suspect or potential threat when stopping and searching people. Proponents of racial profiling say that it is necessary to counter terrorism
Racial Profiling African Americans are incarcerated at nearly six times the rate of whites. Racial Profiling has been around way longer than most people think. Racial profiling has a large effect on more minorities than just blacks, Even though African Americans are greatly affected historical events in history have caused others to be impacted by racial profiling. Muslims are also greatly affected by racial profiling since 9/11 , it takes a toll on more than just the person but their families
these actions sometimes cross lines and end up doing more harm than good. Within policing, racial profiling is an unacceptable and ineffective method towards solving crime that must be improved to create an equal and functional society. Racial profiling, a destructive process that still continues today, involves the police using race or ethnicity as reasoning to suspect a person of a crime. Racial profiling comes in many forms, varying from humiliating and inconvenient, to violent, dehumanising and
United States. With all the progress American citizens would like to believe we have made, racial profiling still happens every day all across the country.

The public needs to become more aware of the harm caused by racial profiling. It is not only wrong, it should be punishable by law. The most recent case, as I am sure most of you have heard by
Public and private policing can at times be very distance from the public perception of their jobs. Often they portray forms of inequality-based policing due to racial profiling that they may or my not realize they are engaging in. This can be due to the fact that social views of minority groups in society, force false perceptions and over generalize these groups, thus making them larger targets by default. Many authors have taken on the task of examining these inequalities, and how both public and
Racial Profiling, it happens to everyone at some point in their lives whether they know it or not. Its when people use race or ethnicity as an excuse for suspecting someone of having committed an offense. Sadly there isn't a stop to it because people will always have their opinion but we can do something about it or at least try to do something about it.It mostly happens to people with a different skin color or if they look different. It also happens anywhere like your job in a school or even in
Why is it that a toddler does not know black or white? A toddler would be friends with another toddler of a different skin color and not think nothing of it. In these times, racial profiling is something that is getting out of hand. For example, in my opinion if Trayvon Martin was a different skin color that incident probably would have never happened. Not every young black kid is a thug and not every Muslim is a terrorist; this society we live in has to stop profiling people just because someone
were shot, raped, dismembered, and assaulted during the day. Blacks had little legal recourse against these assaults because the Jim Crow criminal justice system was all white: police, prosecutors, judges, juries, and prison officials.
And that’s exactly why we are paying them, isn’t that something? But no matter what, it doesn’t give anybody the right to shoot at cops and even kill them; it’s outrageous. You need to be behind bars for life, because I don’t believe in death penalty (injection or electric chair). For me it’s another form of murder. It’s just criminals killing criminals. There is no such thing as the right to commit murder. A murderer is a murderer, period
