Ethnic Profiling: A Modern Framework is designed to raise awareness of the issues surrounding ethnic profiling so that society can develop ways of addressing them more effectively. The anthology brings together a series of articles that look at the roots of ethnic profiling and offer evidence that profiling continues in contemporary America.

What are the long-term effects on our democracy of such profiling? Book jacket.
