Today we discussed the issue with racial profiling. We looked at what it is and how it is prevalent in our society. Thanks to the efforts of Geety and Shalu, we got a first hand look at how devestating the effects of racial profiling could be. All this ties into correlates of crime....remember race/age/SES/
The students had a chance to research what racial profiling means:
- Define it/what is it?
- pros/cons
- stop and frisk law in New York
- ties to Canadian history
Students were then given an article to read "Once Appalled by Race Profiling, many find themselves doing it".
Students were to read the article and comment on what they think of racial profiling. Post it to your blogs.
