After thinking about what i anted to do, i chose racial profiling as my main topic to do reasearch on. I believe its an interesting topic that many people are against for many things. I came up with my essential question being, Why does racial profiling occur and how does it affect a community?. i have looked at few number of websites that have important infomation and cases that deal with racial profiling below is a list of 5 different sites that give out information.
