Is racial profiling a problem? Why? How should racial profiling be defined? Can it be measured?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Good answers will define racial profiling and discuss how difficult it is to discern. The various available legal remedies should be addressed, including an equal protection challenge and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Further, it is important to note that the Supreme Court has not directly addressed the issue. The support for the position taken is the critical component of this question. Students should be familiar with the applicable terms and use them in support of a position.
