Ethnic Profiling

"Ethnic Profiling: A Modern Framework is designed to raise awareness of the issues surrounding ethnic profiling so that society can develop ways of addressing them more effectively. The anthology brings together a series of articles that look at the roots of ethnic profiling and offer evidence that profiling continues in contemporary America. Essays discuss the effect and effectiveness of the practice and suggest how it might be stopped. Finally, the anthology examines how the rise of terrorism has affected Americans' views on ethnic profiling and presents articles that challenge readers to think about difficult questions: Is profiling in the name of national security constitutional? What are the long-term effects on our democracy of such profiling?"--Back cover.
