When the public was asked about racial profiling around the 1940's where racism was common, probably they would be thinking about the discrimination of those who followed Judaism, or after Pearl Harbor when Japanese Americans had to leave their homes to go to the internment camps, but racial profiling sadly is still very much alive and not very effective.

We live in a nation mixed with many ethnicities, we are known as the "melting pot" of the world. Everyone that was born here has a family member that immigrated here from a different country unless they are of Native American decent.

3. Police Brutality Research Papers Excessive use of police force is a crime that can most often be contributed to how well one can separate their obligations as officers from their racial standpoints. Police brutality occurs when an officer uses their badge as an excuse to use excessive force on those who pose little or no threat, and are raided simply because of who the are ("Police Brutality"). When brutality takes place, psychological intimidation, verbal abuse, false arrests, sexual abuse, and death may follow ("Police Brutality"). This could involve the use of batons, tasers, guns, various gases, and or pepper spray ("Police Brutality").

Those of authority at times have used their power to prove a point, destroy the underdog, or just to be plain ole mean. People in the minority have always struggled with acceptance and equality and have often lived in fear of the majority just for being different. The following situations seemed, from the outside, to have been another case of racial profiling and possible excessive use of force. During this case study, the discovery of the entire story will be attempted. Going into it, there is not a right or wrong side but only the facts. On August 9, 2014 Officer Darren Wilson with the Ferguson Missouri Police Department was on his way to a reported strong–arm robbery at a local convenience store in the city. While on his way, he observed two African–American males walking in the middle of the roadway (#1). Officer Wilson realized the pair matched the description given of the suspects from the robbery call in which he had been dispatched. While still in his patrol vehicle, Officer Wilson drove up to the males, and began speaking with Michael Brown. Officer Wilson told Brown to not walk in the lanes of traffic (#1). While speaking with Brown, the incident grew heated, and as Officer Wilson attempted to exit his patrol vehicle, Brown punched Officer Wilson in the face through the window while he was still in the police vehicle.

5. Racial Profiling Pros And Cons Essay Every day people are pulled over for seat belt violations, expired tags, and loud music, but does this become an issue when law enforcement starts pulling people over for no reason? Racial profiling, while used inappropriately, may have its advantages because it can help cut down on theft, drug trafficking, and prevent vandalism. However, there are disadvantages such as innocent people being affected, and business retail declining. Racial profiling has been increasing for many years. Racial profiling is a form of discrimination by which law enforcement uses a person's race or cultural background as the primary reason to suspect that the individual has broken the law (Nittle). The term "driving while black" arose from the practice, as African American drivers frequently complain that police officers pull them over for no reason other than their race and the stereotypes linked to it (Nittle).

For example, if a black man is seen carrying a television set in a predominately black neighborhood and an officer decides that he is suspicious. Soft racial profiling uses race as one factor among others in judging criminal suspiciousness. An example of soft profiling is using known data that a black drug lord who favors driving Honda Accords is moving cocaine from the Northeast area of Florida to the Southeast (MacDonald, 2001, para 4). With this information an officer pulls over a speeding Honda accord that also happens to have a black driver. The officer exercises awareness in looking for any signs of drugs while issuing the traffic ticket (Mac Donald, 2003, Pg 10). The act of profiling leads officer's to detect a potential criminal, but also to perform searches. An officer's decision to search a vehicle is unlike the profiling one that made them decide to pull over a vehicle. A police officer uses a wealth of clues before asking permission to search a vehicle. One clue is a driver's demeanor. "Officer Lennon recalls having stopped a white guy in a pick–up truck having a camper compartment on top and the drivers chest was pounding, sweating in the dead of winter and wouldn't look at him. And he states "they're also hiding drugs."(MacDonald, 2001, para 41).

Like Williams said in The Encyclopedia of Race and Racism "The profile of the "Arab terrorist" or "Muslim terrorist" has influenced the formulation of public policy and the practice of many guardians of the public."

Depending on the treatment of the organization and its management staff to all of its employees will dictate a positive or negative working environment. In the past, most studies viewed the problem of misconduct as one of the individual problem officers, the so–called bad apples on the force (National Institute of Justice, 2016). The police officers training is very important and must be effective and efficient because police officers rely heavily on their training for judgment and decision–making that has to be swift and smart. Despite training to avoid discrimination, officers may still rely on cultural stereotypes and act on their perceptions of a person's characteristics (such as age, race or gender) (National Institute of Justice, 2013). Historical Context/Background of Racial Profiling Racial profiling has been going on for a very long time, but is now a serious issue that cannot be overlooked anymore that needs the attention of police organizations and the citizens of society.

9. Research Paper On Racial Profiling Racial Profiling Introduction What is racial profiling? The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) defines racial profiling as "the discriminatory practice by law enforcement officials of targeting individuals for suspicion of crime based on the individual's race, ethnicity, religion or national origin" (2005). Do not confuse racial profiling with criminal profiling; criminal profiling is usually practiced by police in which they use a group of characteristics that are associated with crime to target individuals (ACLU, 2005). Examples of racial profiling include using ones race to target specific drivers for traffic violations and pedestrians for illegal contraband; another prime example is the targeting of Muslims, Arabs, and South Asians since 9/11 in regards to minor immigrant violations without any connection to the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon (ACLU, 2005). Without a doubt, racial profiling occurs on a daily basis all over the world; however let's focus on racial profiling in the United States and specifically right here in our homeland, Michigan. Background & History When did racial profiling first begin? Even though racial profiling still exists today, it is not a recently new phenomenon. Racial profiling can date back to the 1700s when slavery was a common way of life for many African Americans.

When it concerns validity, my primary concern would be if the respondents are truthful. With a topic such as this, the officers would have to be entirely confident that the information that they submitted would be classified. Racial profiling is a very sensitive subject, and that would explain why there were only one hundred and sixty–seven surveys returned out of four hundred fourteen sent out. The law enforcement community is very close with relationships built on trust. No one wants to be known as the officer that no one can trust.

11. Racial Profiling In Australia Essay The act of targeting or judging someone based on their race is called racial profiling and it is an issue especially in law enforcement. Racial profiling occurs more often than we know. It has been all over the news with several prevalent cases, but acts of racial profiling may occur almost every day. Police officers make arrests based on skin colour or information about that person that could indicate their heritage, mostly their names. Acts of racial profiling can be made subconsciously, the idea to prejudge someone based in their race already ingrained in one's head without realizing, but in the court of law racial profiling is not legal. Under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Canadian citizens have the right to not be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned.

Police officers are defined as people who are responsible for the prevention of crime. Brutality is defined as, "savage, physical violence." Police brutality has been alive and well for many years, but a majority of the cases had been recently. Dating back to the times of the Civil Rights Movement and even before, minorities have been treated with little to know respect by police officers. Racial Profiling is defined as, the act of suspecting or targeting a race based on a preconceived idea or notion. Police brutality and racial profiling are more prevalent among minorities than non–minorities because of stereotypes they have place on minorities. Cases of police brutality and racial profiling have surfaced all across the United States. The most recent case that took the world by notice was when Philando Castile was shot and killed in St. Anthony, Minnesota. During a traffic stop, he was shot by a police officer named Jeronimo Yanez. While stopped, Castile told the police officer that he had a gun with him and that he was licensed to carry the gun. The officer told him Castile not to move and as he was putting his hands back up, the officer shot Philando Castile in the arm four to five times.

But many law enforcements might argue back that it makes perfect sense in using these specific traits due to that fact that certain races have larger involvement in certain crimes (Harris,17). By saying this, the officials basically have a free pass at detaining anybody, only on the basis of a suspicion which is concidently related to their skin color.

19. Argumentative Essay On Racial Profiling Racial Profiling There have been many attempts to make racial profiling illegal, but all have failed. Racial profiling is defined as suspecting an individual of a wrongdoing based solely on the individual's race, ethnicity, religion, or national origin (Racial Profliling: Definition 2). Racism spreads throughout all dimensions of life in American society; therefore, the history of racial profiling is extensive, but it was at an all–time high after the September 11th attacks (Persistence of racial and ethnic profiling in the United States: a follow–up report to the U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination 10). It can be used in both positive and negative aspects, but is mostly used negatively. Racial profiling negatively effects society and the very existence of racial profiling is erroneous, discriminatory, and unjustifiable. Racial profiling impacts the lives of African Americans, Asians, Latinos, South Asians, and the Arab communities (Persistence of racial and ethnic profiling in the United States: a follow–up report to the U.N.
