How to profile the bad guys
Description
In this edition of Tony Brown's Journal, Tony Brown and author David A. Harris discuss the usefulness of profiling. Opinion polls show that most people publicly condemn racial profiling by police officers, but that many privately feel that underlying the practice is a national and effective police tactic. Since America's heightened awareness of worldwide terrorism and the urgency of homeland security, this concept has become even more complex and troublesome. Professor David Harris, author of Profiles in Injustice, says that the 'common sense' idea of racial profiling does not help fight crime and it will not prevent future terrorism.
