Assignment:
I'm looking for assistance gathering information on the above topic...the paper will be a 10 to 12 page research paper on: A policy on racial profiling by police officers to reduce and prevent crime on the streets.
Here's what's needed:
Conduct a brief review/synopsis of the relevant facts.
Identify what you believe to be the major ethical issues and the relevant underlying values of each opposing side.
Set forth your recommendations for the continued use, modification, or discontinuation of this policy. Your decision must have some sort of rationale behind it. This is where you will present an answer to the policy issue at hand. Before you can do this, you will have to decide on what ethical system underlies your analysis. There is no right/wrong system of ethics-choose the one with which you most closely identify. If you are a utilitarian, your stance may be very different than if you identify with ethical formalism or an ethic of care. But, as we know from our class exercises, despite our different ethical systems, we may encounter the same results.
