 | | For this guide, racial profiling is defined as any police-initiated action that relies on the race, ethnicity, or national origin rather than the behavior of an individual or information that leads the police to a particular individual who has been identified as being, or having been, engaged in criminal activity. | | | Defining Racial Profiling When seeking to determine whether allegations of racial profiling are accurate, any analysis concerning the nature and scope of the problem depends on the definition of racial profiling used. | | | In the light of the tense political atmosphere around racial profiling and negative reports of officer behavior in the press, troopers expressed strong concerns that individual behavior would be reported to the press and that they would be labeled as racists. |

| | History of Profiling |
| | It seems whenever proactive profiling is discussed in the context of police activity in areas where a significant number of inhabitants are ethnic minorities, the charge of racial profiling is raised. | | | A careful reading of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries reveals that he used a form of profiling in solving case after case, and was constantly chasing after his arch nemesis, a psychopathic villain. | | | Studies have found that FBI profiling techniques are of some assistance in 77% of cases, provide leads for stakeouts solving cases 45% of the time, and actually help identify the perpetrator (or UNSUB, unknown subject) in 17% of cases (Teten 1995). |

| | Roger Clegg on racial profiling/terrorism/war on National Review Online |
| | The classic case of racial profiling is, instead, when the police decide to stop cars being driven by young black males, not because they have the description of a specific suspect, but because they know that statistically drugs are more likely to be smuggled by young black males than, say, old Asian females. | | | If you are mugged by a six-foot-two-inch, black male wearing a red sweatshirt, it is not "racial profiling" for the police to be on the lookout for people who meet that description, even though one element in it is racial. | | | First, it is not at all clear that what will be used really is racial profiling. |

| | The problem is that in many circumstances, including, for example, allegations of racial profiling by law enforcement, the heart of the problem is that unconscious decisionmaking produces discrimination. | | | All recipients of federal funding are required to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and verification of compliance is dependent upon data, and Title VI provides the legal foundation for the collection and reporting of racial and ethnic data by federal recipients. | | | Racial and ethnic data that is collected by public entities with regards to health is particularly important to understand and address the disparities that exist in almost every measure of health and well-being. |

| | Racial Profiling at the Airport - Discrimination we're afraid to be against. By Michael Kinsley |
| | Until recently, the term "racial profiling" referred to the police practice of pulling over black male drivers disproportionately, on the statistically valid but morally offensive assumption that black male drivers are more likely to be involved in crime. | | | But if "racial profiling" means anything specific at all, it means rational discrimination: racial discrimination with a non-racist rationale. | | | The truth is that racial profiling and affirmative action are both dangerous medicines that are sometimes appropriate. |

| | The ritual horror that greets the term "racial profiling" these days is actually testimony to the impressive progress in controlling crime since the anarchic early 1990s. | | | So the debate over racial profiling largely ignores the central reality of racial differences in propensity to commit crimes. | | | And the fact remains that all this racial profiling hysteria is bunk. |

| | Racial or colour profiling refers to that phenomenon whereby certain criminal activity is attributed to an identified group in society on the basis of race or colour resulting in the targeting of individual members of that group. | | | "racial profiling" means any action undertaken for reasons of safety, security or public protection that relies on stereotypes about race, colour, ethnicity, ancestry, religion or place of origin, or a combination of these, rather than on reasonable suspicion, to single out an individual for greater scrutiny or different treatment. | | | Racial profiling is an ineffective law enforcement practice steeped in racial stereotypes and erroneous assumptions about the propensity of African American, Latino, Asian, Native American or Arab people to commit particular types of crimes. |

| | As we release our report today, Amnesty International is mobilizing its members to urge Congress to take a stand by passing the End Racial Profiling Act of 2004, and we will press state legislators to create effective laws banning racial profiling in their communities. | | | After a yearlong investigation that included analysis of statistical data, Amnesty International has found that approximately one of every nine Americans has been victimized by racial profiling and that state and federal agencies, under the guise of fighting terrorism, have expanded the use of this degrading, discriminatory and dangerous practice. | | | Half of the 23 states that have racial profiling laws have failed to ensure that these laws are comprehensive or even have a definition of profiling that enables the ban to be enforced effectively. |

| | The Myth of Racial Profiling by Heather Mac Donald, City Journal Spring 2001 |
| | Their alleged evidence for racial profiling comes in two varieties: anecdotal, which is of limited value, and statistical, which on examination proves entirely worthless. | | | Too bad no one asked President Bush: "What exactly do you mean by 'racial profiling,' and what evidence do you have that it exists?" For the anti-profiling crusaders have created a headlong movement without defining their central term and without providing a shred of credible evidence that "racial profiling" is a widespread police practice. | | | Specious anti-racial profiling analysis threatens to emasculate policing in areas where drug enforcement is on a far stronger basis. |
