    One weakness in this article, seen in paragraph eight, the author says that African Americans become criminals because that is the only way they can survive. This weakens the author’s argument because during this era African Americans were given the chance to work for minimum wage in factories, shoe stores, and even as carpenters, and they took this opportunity. African Americans were also allowed to work in the armed forces after World War Two in 1945. Many may argue that they were not granted the same education as white Americans, however, the law stated that all schools must be equal and segregation was illegal in schools. Therefore, every black were offered this chance to expand their knowledge and if they had their own will…

    Law enforcement officials use profiling as part of their daily routine, thus giving them an indication of criminal behaviors, acts, threatening and/or dangerous situations. Although profiling is a part of human nature and has been around for decades, it was not until the 90’s that profiling became a major focus and concern in America, separating the two into: criminal profiling and racial profiling. When comparing and contrasting the two, criminal and racial profiling, it is difficult because both have separate yet equal meanings, but are both described as a form of profile in itself. How do they relate? Before the question or situation can be accessed or addressed it is imperative for the officer to take prior training into consideration,…

It writes, “Ku Klux Klan, secret terrorist organization that originated in the southern states during the period of Reconstruction following the American Civil War and was reactivated on a wider geographic basis in the 20th century.

    One very contradictory issue that has emerged over the recent years within community policing is racial profiling. Racial profiling is defined as the use of race or ethnicity as grounds for suspecting someone of having committed an offense. Profiling of this nature impacts communities, minority groups, and even policing agencies in a negative manner ultimately. Many argue that criminal profiling differs from racial profiling and is a vital part of the job therefore it must be done. Others argue that it is not as great of a problem as the media sometimes portrays it to be.…

    Since the beginning and the ending of slavery, police brutality has been strongly incorporated in the African American communities. The beatings, shootings, and the result of rioting has been nothing new against African Americans.

Again, if a society or country or region currently existed where there were no police forces, or a drastically different kind than the sort we see throughout the world, maybe it would be easier for people to imagine what a society without police would potentially look like. Since such a society doesn 't currently exist, maybe we should ask what the primary drivers of violence are in modern society?…
