Description
Racial profilingthe use of race or ethnicity as grounds for suspecting someone of an offenseaffects thousands of Americans on a daily basis. It takes many forms, from routine traffic stops to police violence. High-profile cases, such as the deaths of unarmed black men and boys at the hands of white police officers, have brought national attention to this issue and fueled activism such as the Black Lives Matter movement. What exactly is racial profiling? How is it linked to racism and racial stereotyping? Can it be an effective crime-fighting strategy? What are its consequences, both for individuals and for American society? Rigorously researched text combines with powerful personal stories to explore this phenomenon of social injustice.
