Routledge - Racial Profiling: They Stopped Me Because I'm ---!

Explore the complex reality of police-citizen interactions in this academic study from Routledge. While many police authorities deny the use of racially biased tactics, many minority communities report that profiling occurs frequently in their neighborhoods. This book addresses the gap in existing literature, which often relies on anecdotal reports that provide limited insight into the issue. Instead of relying on stories alone, this work uses a qualitative methodological lens to examine the context of how minority citizens experience racial profiling. By placing individuals who believe they have been profiled by police authorities at the center of the study, the book provides a deep look into these lived experiences. It serves as a vital resource for those studying social sciences, law, and sociology, offering a perspective that moves beyond simple anecdotes to provide a more structured understanding of the subject.
