Racial Profiling African Americans
1,330 words
NEW JERSEY STATE POLICE RACIAL PROFILING Racial
profiling is a law enforcement strategy that
encourages police officers to stop and question
African Americans simply because of their race.
Although not raised as a major issue in the
courtroom during the trial of the four police
officers who shot Amadou Diallo (who were
acquitted in February), racial profiling is often
employed by police, officially and unofficially,

Diallo. Racial profiling took ...

There are many aspects of law enforcement that are
not clear. One of the few certainties in policing
is that there is about 17, 000 police departments
in the U. S. A. The exact numbers are not
important to most researchers. There most likely
isnt a survey on how many of these departments use
911 operators or use handcuffs, because our
findings would usually be accurate. Other factors,

no chemicals that produce the same euphoric effect

mechanism linking drug use to violent crime, and
one routinely observed in the context of alcohol
use, is as a side effect. People who are drunk

would when sober, so quarrels can become violent.

alcohol consumption that is produced by two costly
inputs. One input is alcohol, the other is risk of
