Assignment:
There have been instances where law enforcement officials have singled out persons of particular races or ethnicities for security checks citing the necessity of such security measures, specifically in the post-9/11 scenario. Do you think the potential for discrimination outweighs the need for using profiling to apprehend criminals? Why?
If your answer is yes, provide examples of at least five crimes where profiling should not be used because the costs do not outweigh the benefits.
If your answer is no, provide examples of at least five crimes where you think the use of profiling is warranted and unavoidable.
