Racial Profiling

Read the attached documenton equality and discrimination.

Read the chapter on equality and discrimination in the e-text and consider case study #3 on page 150 and on page 140 in the hard copy.

The U. S. Border Patrol has been accused of using racial profiling in its decisions about whom to select for questioning in border regions. People who “look Mexican” have been stopped and questioned under suspicion of being illegal immigrants. Border Patrol agents say that this is justified because a high percentage of Latinos in border areas are in the United States illegally. Latinos who are U. S. citizens say that they are repeatedly stopped just because of their race and appearance, and they resent this.

1. Do you believe that using race in such decisions is a justifiable law enforcement tactic or is it unjust discrimination? Provide an example and a citation for at least one additional case that you have researched in your response.
2. Using the principle of equality, discuss the social benefits and harms that relate to the case that you cited in your response.

1. Substantiate your posting with references from your readings and external research. Your research should be documented by citing one or more credible sources such as the textbook, a newspaper, a biographic article, book, or website. Wikipedia and any similar online reference sites where the content may be authored by anyone are not considered credible sources for scholarly writing.

This is my theses: Racial profiling has been a much talked about issue over the recent years. Even though on some occasions good policing can look like profiling, racial profiling affects the community in a negative way. Not only does it break the trust between the community and police force, but this profiling seems, harmful, distracting, and overall useless. This break in trust makes us avoid the police force, rather than working together for information that could arrest an actual criminal. Racial profiling is practice used, that targets people because of their race, ethnicity, and religion, rather than using signs of suspicious behavior to assess situations.

I need 12 Sources can be more no books. Almost 1 cite from a source per paragraph

Outline and title page is not included in the 12 pages

Try to stay away from .com sources unless news

Paper breakdown should be like 4 pages of background/ 5 pages of argument/ opinion and 4 pages of solution/action

Couple of sources I was going to use http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/23/opinion/policing-the-police-on-stop-and-frisk.html?rref=collection%2Ftimestopic%2FStop%20and%20Frisk&action=click&contentCollection=timestopics&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=collection&_r=0
