Racial Police Profiling

Improved Essays
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.

Although at times assertiveness might be necessary, the police department often uses too much force and are biased on their targeted suspects, because many incidents have already been reported and many ended in lives lost. Instead of feeling good and protected whenever we see a police officer, people feel scared and nervous even when they have done nothing wrong.…

    Over the previous years, the adoption of race by law enforcement agencies in their policing activities has received considerable attention worldwide. I believe that racial profiling is an ineffective law technique that generally leads to unfair treatments and incoherent decision. For more than a century Black men and women traveling through predominantly white neighborhoods were stopped and questioned for no reasons simply because police officers felt they didn't belong there . On February 2009 study of traffic stops and searches in West Virginia showed a pattern of racial profiling and revealed that African-American motorists were 1.64 times, Hispanics 1.48 times likely to be stopped than White drivers.…

    Living in the United States, we often see the flash of blue lights and hear the whir of sirens. We loudly proclaim that that person must have done something unlawful to warrant a stop by the police. We never think that the police may be wrong.

When this happens, the officer is then more likely to act aggressively in the situation, which can very easily turn into a slippery slope of unfortunate events.…
