LMS Discrimination: Racial profiling

Racial Profiling

"Racial profiling occurs when police decide to stop a motorist or

pedestrian based largely on that person's assumed race or ethnicity.

Profiling is a policing strategy long used to focus attention on certain

suspicious behaviors or circumstances likely to have criminal

connections based on past crime patterns" ("Racial Prejudice" 81).
