Hi, need to submit a 3000 words essay on the topic Racial Profiling Is Ineradicable.

As a result of racial issues in America, relations between the natives and the Europeans were never given a chance to truly flourish, eventually leading to the near genocide of the native race.&nbsp. Shortly after the arrival of the white man, black men and women were shipped in as slaves to provide the necessary labor for these white men to continue to gain profit.&nbsp. As slaves, black people were also placed at the bottom levels of the social hierarchy creating a situation in which white men ‘naturally’ looked upon tinted skin as analogous to a social inferior.&nbsp. Whether that other was Native American, African or Arabian, what was truly important was that no other skin tone was capable of meeting the high social standards of the white man.&nbsp. That this is not a truly natural response can be found in those instances when white children are able to associate in close connection with black children, frequently identify their friends by the clothing they wear or the things they do together rather than by the color of their skin.&nbsp. However, the problem of racial profiling continues within the adult generations, generation after generation.&nbsp. There are several reasons this may be the case including alarming large-scale social experience, enforcement procedures, and media influence.

The term ‘racial profiling’ is typically applied in the enforcement arena, but can be equally applied in the social realm.&nbsp. Prior to the terrorist attacks that took place in the United States on September 11, 2001, most people associated the term ‘racial profiling’ with the common but often unspoken practice of police officers to stop and harass young black drivers in a much higher percentage than they did this same activity with drivers of other skin tones.&nbsp. African-Americans of all ages correctly complained that they were being disproportionately detained and asked non-pertinent questions by the police for nothing more than the ‘crime’ of ‘driving while black.’&nbsp. The practice of racial profiling is officially illegal, but police officers continue to point to statistics that seem to support its use (Turvey, 1998).&nbsp. The concept of criminal profiling has actually been used to assist law enforcement in preventing crime as the habits and behaviors of individual criminals can be tracked and predicted as a means of achieving capture and neutralization.&nbsp. Offender profiles, a series of behavioral and personal characteristics related to specific offenses, are also analyzed as a means of assisting enforcement officials in recognizing specific behavior patterns that may lead to future crime.&nbsp. However, criminal profiling progresses to racial profiling when the defining characteristics used comprise ethnicity, religion or race.&nbsp. Racial profiling occurs as officers begin to recognize a greater number of black people in prison than white, linking black people, particularly young males, with a higher prevalence of crime without taking into account the possibility that higher numbers may be simply a result of eagerness to arrest or other factors.
