Ethnic profiling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ethnic profiling is the attempt to use ethnicity as a primary determinant in the characterization of persons considered likely to commit a particular type of crime (see Offender Profiling). Advocates of ethnic profiling wish to use it as a means to single out individuals for special scrutiny and restrictions of their liberty for alleged security and law enforcement purposes.
The term is derived conceptually from racial profiling, which attempts to use race as a primary predictor of criminal behavior.
In common usage the terms race and ethnicity are often conflated.
