Write 9 page essay on the topic Racial Profiling by the Police Force.

This essay discusses the issue of racial profiling, that should be deemed unconstitutional even when there is a statistically valid basis for believing that it will help catch more criminals. This benefit is far outweighed by the costs: Such racial profiling is hard to distinguish from and sometimes involves-plain old racist harassment of groups that have long experienced discrimination at every stage of the criminal justice process. It subjects thousands of innocent individuals to the kind of humiliation that characterizes police states, and hurts the law enforcement in the long run. The researcher states that racial profiling can be reduced if the law enforcement agencies collect relevant data of all the drivers they stop without having discrimination of race. It is crucial for useful analysis of the data that sufficient categories of data be recorded. The necessary categories are the location, date and time of the stop, the race, age and gender of the driver, the reason for the stop, the disposition of the stop and data relating to searches. If proper steps are not taken, then the ethnic minorities will not be able to live like the other decent individuals. They have the abilities, talents, and power and will to work but due to lack of opportunities for ethnic or racial reasons they are not given a chance to work and make decent livings. The researcher concluds that such racial discrimination has been happening for generations, but the 21st century is too modern a time to practice any kind of discrimination.
