=Racial Profiling= Tyler, Sarah, Billy, Morgan

Make sure you research a debate. I'm not sure what that debate is from this proposal. Are you going to be using arguments from people who defend racial profiling? MSH

Proposal:
Racial profiling is a good topic because it will help give people a better understanding of racial profiling and how it used today. Racial profiling is something that usually negatively affects society and it needs to be stopped. Our plan for researching would yield the best results if we searched various articles and websites containing information about racial profiling. Since the 60's, this issue has become something that's becoming more prevalent, whether it's blatant and in the open, or behind someone's back; we need to start attacking the issue of racial profiling, because it happens in our schools, in the workplace and even in our government.

Question:
Our group wants to learn why people use racial profiling? How has it evolved over time? and why does it has such a negative impact not only on certain groups, but on society as a whole?

Possible Sources:
Racial Profiling of African, Hispanic (Latino), and Asian Americans. //Ethnic Majority//. 2010. October, 18, 2010.  This source is good because it provides a definition of racial profiling, and informs you of what you can do if racial profiling affects you.

Exploring the influence of race relations and public safety concerns on public support for racial profiling during traffic stops. //International Journal of Police Science & Management Volume 12 Number 1.// 2009. October 19, 2010. < [] > - This is a good source to use because it gives the public perception of police that use racial profiling.

Our group decided on the controversial topic racial profiling. We thought this was a significant topic because it still happens everyday around the world. Questions that you will see in our proposal may include… What is racial profiling? What are examples of racial profiling? Even though racial profiling is inappropriate and illegal, what are the locations where they most happen? My plan is to look into cases where law enforcement blamed someone for a crime or action just based on their ethnicity and race. I plan to also find statistics of where racial profiling is still popular, and then ways in which we can help end racial profiling.
