    Racial Profiling Of Arab-Americans: A Summary And Analysis

    I’m sure there are people committing crimes and voicing racial slurs motivated by prejudices, biases and directed toward Arab-Americans; I am glad not to see or hear much in this area; consequently, some states have set laws embellishing strict penalties; to safeguard Arab-American citizens. I believe people still demonstrate racial profiling of most races based on their appearance alone, but there tend to be a substantial act of discriminating for the Arab-Americans if they identify a robust ethnic faith and not white. According to Parrillo (2014), “some assume both strong ethnic and white identities, while others report a strong white identity, yet distance themselves from the pan-ethnic Arab American label” (assimilation, p.301). Because…

In the Gates Case, A black Harvard professor, Henry Louis Gates Jr., was arrested at his home finally coming home after a long stay in Harvard, by a white police officer, for attempting burglary. “The officer, rather than treat Professor Gates as a respected member of the Harvard faculty, probably expected more illegal behavior from him because he was a black man.…

    Racial Police Profiling

    Research Design (how you will collect your data): First I would define racial police profiling. Then I would collect data from police departments, data from police car stops to investigate the issue of racial profiling, conduct a comparison between each race and how many times they’ve been stopped, see if there are any patterns in the police stops, also check with the complaints from the citizens that were filed. I would also use the most recent racial profiling data from the internet for large cities. I would also need information of complaints from citizens saying they’ve had an experience with racist police officers. I would look into any policies or incentives that promote higher arrest rates, fine rates, or other enforcement tactics.…
