From the Paper "Racial profiling is when someone is treated differently because they belong to a specific race. After the tragic events of September 11th of 2001 U.S., government and airport officials have targeted Arabs and Muslims as suspects of future terrorist action. Racial profiling has been going on for generations. During World War II the Japanese living in the U.S. were placed in military observation zones in California due to their Japanese ancestry after Pearl Harbor was bombed in December of 1941. The legal matter was argued in the Supreme Court in the case, Korematsu v. US. The young Korematsu's argument was based on the unfair ?imprisonment in a concentration camp solely because of his ancestry, without evidence or inquiry concerning his loyalty and good disposition towards the United States.? The United States case later goes on to claim: Korematsu was not excluded from the Military Area because of hostility to him or his race. He was excluded because we were at war with the Japanese Empire, because the properly constituted military authorities feared an invasion of our West Coast and felt constrained to take proper security measures. ?. Congress, reposing its confidence in this time owar in our military leaders?as inevitably must-- determined that they should have the power to do just this."
Abstract Racial profiling is a term used to define instances in which one ethnic group is subjected to police surveillance or detention more than any other group in society. The practice occurs when the race of the individual is more significant in causing police action than the suspicion of criminal acts. In instances in which racial profiling has been evident, the cause is generally because assumptions about particular racial groups exist within the police organization. This paper looks at the issue of racial profiling in the city of Toronto and how some organizations contend that racial profiling is a serious issue, which must be addressed while other professionals and community members suggest that racial profiling does not exist, and that the claims that have been made against the Toronto police are without merit.
Abstract With the unmistakable emergence of global terrorism in the last half decade the controversial topic of racial profiling has become more and more unavoidable. With that in mind, this paper explores the topic by looking at what racial profiling is and why it is such an important topic of discussion. Proceeding onward the paper looks at the major areas of research which cannot be passed over when examining this issue. For example, the paper looks at the fact that the Toronto Police Department regularly engages in racial profiling when dealing with African-Canadians; armed with this disquieting fact, the paper pores over the literature that is available from 2000 onwards.
Abstract This paper explores the police use of racial profiling. It explains how some policemen use this racial profiling code to promote their own personal ethnic bias towards certain population groups. It argues that this method in fighting crime promotes institutional racism.
From the Paper "America is a beautiful place where people are supposed to live in peace and be treated equally. But, some people may disagree with because they are mistreated due their racial background. Racism has always been a problem everyone has to encounter at some point in his or her life. However, most people would not think that the police would contribute to the racism trouble that we have. Unfortunately, they encourage the negative issue by having a code called racial profiling. Racial profiling is where the police think certain minorities commit certain crimes. For instance, if most black men are drug dealers, then a black man will be accused of being one almost every time they come across a police officer. With that in mind, racial profiling is very wrong and should not exist in the police force. It also should not exist since it promotes discrimination against minorities. "
Abstract Racial profiling is examined in this paper as an abuse of law enforcement primarily against blacks and Latinos. It discusses the concept of race, the use of profiling as a crime fighting technique and miscarriages of justice based on racial prejudice.
From the Paper "In discussing the merits of racial profiling as a crime-fighting technique we must first examine the concept of race itself. Physical anthropologists have determined that modern homo sapiens evolved from non-human ancestors in Africa some years ago based on DNA studies and the analysis of proteins and that racial differences developed as evolutionary adaptations to the different environments into which they moved. There is no question that there are a great deal of obvious physical differences among human beings ..."
Abstract This three page undergraduate paper examines how racial profiling, the war on drugs, and urban poverty are related. The writer points out that an examination of the harsher realities of American society is necessary, for urban poverty often leads to drug abuse, which in itself has led to the war on drugs. The writer notes that this war is which is being conducted through racial profiling and other controversial methods. The writer discusses that as drug use is higher in minority communities due to the higher poverty rates there, law enforcement agencies consider it logical to use race as an indication of illegal drug use or trafficking.
From the Paper "In order to determine how racial profiling, the war on drugs, and urban poverty are related, an examination of the harsher realities of American society is necessary, for urban poverty often leads to drug abuse, which has led to the war on drugs, which is being conducted through racial profiling and other controversial methods. Essentially, because drug use is higher in minority communities because of the higher poverty rates there, law enforcement agencies consider it logical to use race as an indication of illegal drug use or trafficking. According to Inciardi, current efforts to control drug abuse rely primarily upon law enforcement operations involving the seizure of drug supplies and the arrest and imprisonment of drug offenders."
Abstract This paper discussion the issue of racial tension in a North American context. The paper looks at examples of racial tension in the works 'The Truth About Stories' by Thomas King and 'Riot' by Andrew Moodie.
From the Paper "Racism has been an issue for a long time in North America. Most people in North America assume that racism only occurred in the past and is now only maintained by a very small group of people in isolated communities. However, racism and racial tension are still very present within mainstream North American society. This essay will look at the examples of racial tension and racism in two different works. The first work is 'The Truth About Stories' by Thomas King. The second work is 'Riot' by Andrew Moodie. Both works deal with a wide range of issues but the common issue in both works is racial tension and racism."
Abstract This paper notes that the problem of racial profiling has been documented in many American cities, and Sacramento has also been cited as a jurisdiction where the police often use racial profiling in deciding how to combat crime and whom to confront. According to the paper, the problem is often seen in the decision to make a traffic stop for instance leading to the idea that it may be a crime to commit DWB, or driving while black.
From the Paper " Legal challenges have been brought to such practices, and some cases from Sacramento show the extent of this problem in that region and how it affects race relations. A challenge raised in 2000 cited the issue of racial profiling as "the illegal targeting of citizens by trace" and stated that this occurred "when officers use race rather then probable cause to stop or arrest suspects" ("'Racial Profiling' Targeted by Black Attorneys" para. 3)."
Abstract This compares the two books "Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, & a Dream" by H. G. Bissinger and "Hardball: A Season in the Projects" by Daniel Coyle. Both books deal with the subject of sports and racial discrimination.
Abstract This paper discusses the sensitive issue of racial profiling and the sensitive balance that the law authorities need to keep while still trying to maintain a sense of domestic security. It looks at how this problem is especially affecting the American Muslim community in the U.S.
From the Paper "Racial profiling has become a long and winded debate in our society. Its history is extensive and varied; affecting different groups during different periods of time. However, regardless of the ethnic group targeted, racial profiling has the effect of heightening tensions between law enforcement agents and the community. A profile is "a coherent set of facts"; it often includes known conditions and behavior that may indicate a particular individual might be engaged in criminal activity. This profile is completely based on statistics and data that law enforcement officials obtain."
Abstract The paper explores the advantages and disadvantages of racial profiling and how it is different from profiling.
From the Paper "In recent years, public debate over the question of whether or not law enforcement officials at all levels in the United States use the practice known as racial profiling in stopping and or identifying suspects has become emotionally charged. According to R. Richard Banks, the view that pervasive irrational racial profiling invariably accounts for the widespread investigation of people of color and ethnic minorities reflects a misreading of empirical studies of law enforcement officers' stop-search practices."
Abstract This paper examines the issue of racial profiling of African Americans and Hispanics in the context of decreased crime in New York City as well as the effect of negative attitudes on policing in the city.
From the Paper "The purpose of this research is to examine the issue of racial profiling of African Americans ad Hispanics by police agencies in New York City. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which the issue has arisen in recent years and then to discuss the public perceptions of police performance in the matter as well as the impact of such perception on law enforcement in New York City. In the background of the issue of racial profiling of black and Hispanic persons..."

Abstract This is a paper on CORE, the Congress for Racial Equality. The paper discusses the development of this civil rights organization, its active role during the civil-rights era and subsequent decline. The paper looks at the effects of emerging black nationalist movement on CORE.
From the Paper "The Congress on Racial Equality, often referred to simply by its acronym, CORE, was one of the major national organizations that played a leading role in the Civil Rights revolution of the 50s. Founded in 1942, it seemed on the verge of collapse in the early 50s but succeeded in re-organizing itself and gaining new focus as the Civil Rights movement as a whole gained strength through the 50s"
Abstract This paper reviews the on-going debate over whether or not Toronto police department engages in racial profiling. As the paper makes clear, there is no unambiguous and irrefutable proof that the nation largest police department is systematically oppressing African Canadians or anyone else. At the same time, however, the paper presents the view that there is evidence that the police service can be more sensitive to its non-white population.
From the Paper "Racial Profiling and the Toronto Police Department: Is it still "alive and kicking" in Canada's largest city? It has often been argued that Toronto's police force, for all of its estimable qualities, has too often engaged in racial profiling. The following paper will review what racial profiling is, whether or not Toronto's police department is actively engaged in it, and what the effects of racial profiling - or even the appearance of racial profiling - are upon relations between Toronto's police department and the city's sizable African-American community. As the following paper shall hopefully make clear, there is some evidence available to suggest that Toronto's police force engages in racial profiling - although whether this is done as maliciously or as indiscriminately as some would lead the public to believe is an entirely different matter. "
