Reflection Paper On Racial Profiling

755 Words4 Pages

Mid Paper Reflection I am still sticking with my topic on racial profiling in the education system. I am not really having trouble with finding sources on the topic just going through the process itself is difficult. Some sources have different stats from other sources that I have chosen so I cannot tell what information is accurate or not. Other than that I am trying to get through all the things we have to turn in especially the paper. I have been staying up late at night just to try and finish turning in all the other stuff while trying to work on my paper. I have finally completed all my sources but I have yet to do the full annotated bibliography but that shouldn’t take too long. This project is really stressful and because we did not have set deadlines I fell too far behind and now I am trying to cram it all in in one week. I have been really stressed out about this whole research project because I need to pass this class for my major and I just don’t know if that’s going to …show more content…

I really stressed because I am mostly worried about this class instead of all my other classes. I hope that I make a good grade in this class or actually pass as of right now. This process has taught me a lot on how to conduct research on a topic. Racial profiling in education is something I am passionate about because of all the findings that I have come across. It strikes an interest in me because I am an Elementary Ed major and I will deal with certain situations that I have read about and I hope I make the right decision when my time comes. I want for all students to get the best education they can and be proud of who they are. I do not want my students to worry about other things besides school and helping them better themselves. I really hope I can express this emotion in my paper to earn a good grade and finish the semester strong. I just want to make a good

MacDonald makes a lot of good points about how the politicization of criminal justice can hurt the entire field. I do not agree that racial profiling does not exist, but I do agree that political witch hunts and fishing expeditions are likely to punish good officers and limit their ability to do their jobs, while failing to ensure that minorities are treated equally. An unfortunate but valid point that she offers is that the disproportionate amount of minorities involved in incarceration does not indicate racial profiling, but just that more minorities are committing crimes (Macdonald, 2001). I’d like to say that I’m well aware that crime is a response to poverty, not ethnicity. The disproportionate amount of minorities below the poverty line

Since the day of the judgment between Athens and Socrates in 399 year B.C. many historians, philosophers, and students wonder to know whether Socrates was Guilty. Philosopher was accused in corrupting the youth, not believing in the recognized gods and introducing new divinities and in the rejection of civic life in democratic society. It is very difficult to answer on this question, may be even impossible. In my opinion, there are three types of people: 1.

Americans today tend to believe that racial profiling is not an effective way to enforce the law. Many people think that policemen stop them for their race ethnicity. Common sense is that the police officers stop people who look suspicious. People do not understand that police officers detaining people are part of their community duties and are not necessarily based on ethnicity. People misunderstand racial profiling and they create a controversial issue of it.

In Table 2, they gathered data on racial differences facing the police. One of the questions they asked was “Just your impression, are blacks in your community treated less fairly than whites in dealing with the police, such as traffic incidents?” Table 1 and Table 2 together supported racial splits on their personal thoughts and conflicts with the police. Another one of Weitzer and Tuch findings were that 39% of blacks had unfavorable views about their local police than 12.8% of whites and 30.3% of blacks had unfavorable views of the state police than 7.7% whites (2002). Their findings show that blacks see profiling as more pervasive, with 81.6% of blacks feeling this way versus 60.2% of whites (Weitzer

Racial profiling is the prejudicial practice by law enforcement of singling out individuals for suspicion of a crime based on the persons ethnicity, religion, or origin. Many cases over racial profiling have ended with the police accused of the act being acquitted for their crimes. An officer from Maryland received no punishment for releasing a police dog on multiple unarmed Mexican immigrants ( ACLU, 2017). This has been a problem in the United States for centuries. During the 19th and early 20th centuries southern Sheriffs sat by while the Ku Klux Klan harassed African Americans (ACLU, 2017).

Racial profiling is big in our school systems, the biggest case of racial profiling is the case of Brown vs Board of Education of Topeka, and the case declared state laws establishing separate public schools for white and black students to become unconstitutional. Nearly 60 years later the education system still continues to single out Black Americans. The average student suspension rate is 11% however if that student is Black then the rate jumps to 24%. Studies have shown that students that are more problematic are black students, but when it comes to consequences the black students are either kicked out of school or put into a room. In most cases, those students are just shipped to alternative school because of suspension rate.

Throughout history, disputes and tensions between law enforcement officials and communities of minorities have endured hostility and violence between each other. Racial profiling has become a “hot topic” for researchers as well as for politicians and by now it is likely that most citizens are at least aware of the common accusations of racial bias pitted against law enforcement (Cochran & Warren, 2013). Communities of color are being discriminated against and racially profiled by white police officers for any suspicion of criminal activities. It has been widely assumed by policy makers and citizens alike that allegations of racial profiling are mostly associated with the policing practices of white officers and their treatment of racial and ethnic minorities (Cochran & Warren, 2013). Also, individuals of minority descent will certainly recognize that they are being racially profiled during a stop that is being conducted by a white police officer.

Hello Faith, Nice job on your post, your outline and topic sounds interesting and might shine some light on the ever growing problem of racial profiling. I must say that I do not really agree with one of your authors which is Austin, M. and his take on racial profiling. The reason being that racial profiling might have started out as a great idea, but some were along the line someone crossed them and made it more of targeted race issue. Now, this not just my take on this issue, but with all the court cases being filed for racial profiling death or incidents and the massive reports by the media.
