Racial profiling is a major problem among people of color and police forces. In this article I talk about their relationships with each other and how stereotypes have affected society as a whole. When looking at racial profiling, it usually occurs in dense populations where black people live. In some areas of Canada, there are high levels of criminal violence, including problems with armed gangs and property crime. Yet people in these communities don't like having their friends and families bothered by the police. They also want better job opportunities, higher salaries, and overall a better living situation that the middle class is accustomed to. Minority groups do not choose to live a life like this and therefore must abandon the mentality they lead. Policing is a very difficult job to do because it can be very misunderstood. The power given to them can make minority people feel cornered and disadvantaged because of their appearance. But it remains unclear whether racial profiling is racial bias or an institutional policy of the police force. Yet many officers, even those of color, unfortunately rely on this to help them with their tasks. Racial profiling typically occurs when a combination of safety, public protection, and stereotyping is involved in judging a person. Racial profiling must be distinguished from criminal profiling, which is based on a person's actual behavior and not a stereotype. The problem with stereotyping is that anyone can do it, even good, unprejudiced people. By examining ourselves and really examining our first judgment of people, we notice that our own assumptions and biases would lead many of us to realize that we have stereotypical people middle of paper......to present strategy Toronto Anti-Violence Intervention Center. The strategy involves a two-pronged approach: old-fashioned community policing combined with a continued, massive presence wherever and whenever needed. This strategy is risky because 9 out of 10 children arrested and documented on a street corner could be good children and, therefore, could leave them raped or made to feel like criminals. Police have increased the number of minority recruits and promoted members of visible minorities to higher ranks. They also entered into a unique partnership with the Ontario Human Rights Commission to improve human resources practices and the way police serve the public. A good reason for this is that Toronto's anti-violence intervention strategy is imposed; people would feel more comfortable talking to someone of their own race rather than someone who is not.
