Overview

Racial Profiling in Policing: Beyond the Basics examines the complex and urgent issue of racial profiling across a range of law enforcement contexts. Now in its third edition, the text responds to a moment when public awareness of the causes and consequences of racial profiling has never been greater-yet effective, sustainable remedies remain difficult to achieve. The book addresses contemporary challenges including the intersections of immigration enforcement with local policing, offering recommendations for operational and organizational reform grounded in practical implementation and an honest reckoning with the realities of modern policing. The text's substantive contributions to the field received formal judicial recognition when a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit cited Racial Profiling in Policing in Gulluni v. Levy (October 2023)-a case arising from the U.S. Department of Justice's ""pattern or practice"" investigation into racial discrimination and police misconduct by a Massachusetts police department.
