Summary

Using primary empirical studies and extensive, in-depth interviews, this book draws on nearly two years of field research into how minorities experience racial profiling by police authorities. Citing cases involving over 100 racial and ethnic minority citizens, it places into context the experience of racial profiling by examining each individual case and employing a rigorous qualitative phenomenological method to develop dominant themes and determine their associated meaning. Suitable as a textbook or professional reference, this book distinguishes myth from data to discover the truth underlying the practice of racial profiling.
