Good Cop, Bad Cop looks at the rise of racial profiling, one of the most important and hotly debated topics in criminal justice, and traces its development from its origins in criminal profiling, through the use of profiles in drug trafficking prevention efforts in airports and on the U.S. highways, until it became synonymous with racial discrimination by law enforcement. The authors draw upon an extensive body of primary sources, social science literature, and court cases to examine how law enforcement, legislators, and the courts have handled racial profiling. They also review the debate over racial profiling, offering arguments made by its opponents and defenders before and after the events of September 11 and describe its development as both a legal and a cultural concept.

In Suspect Race, social psychologist and public policy expert Jack Glaser leverages a century's worth of social psychological research to provide a clear understanding of how stereotypes, even those operating outside of conscious awareness or control, can cause police to make discriminatory judgments and decisions about who to suspect, stop, question, search, use force on, and arrest. Glaser argues that stereotyping, even nonconscious stereotyping, is a completely normal human mental process, but that it leads to undesirable discriminatory outcomes. Additionally, he finds evidence that racial profiling can actually increase crime, and he considers the implications for racial profiling in counterterrorism. Suspect Race brings to bear the vast scientific literature on intergroup stereotyping to offer the first in-depth and accessible understanding of the primary cause of racial profiling, and to explore implications for policy.

This work introduces examples of ethnic profiling in European counter-terrorism and analyzes possible after-effects on a theoretical basis. Primary effects, which are generally considered positive, are contrasted with secondary effects and methodological breaches, for instance the over- and under-inclusion of a profile, substitution and negative effects on the social life of the targeted group. The implications are documented with examples taken from the European counter-terrorism context and discussed in relation to European legal standards. The discussion closes with a proportionality test.

In my opinion, Racial Profiling is a disorder that should be considered by the American Psychiatric Association, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, committee. This syndrome is the result of research I conducted that's described in this book. Racial Profiling Disorder (RPD) should be defined as (1) hatred, implicit or explicit toward members of ethnic-minority populations (2) obsessive thoughts of ways to demonize, degrade, or discredit individuals from minority populations (3) compulsive hostility, rage, disgust, anger and animosity toward members from minority populations (4) efforts to intellectualize, justify, rationalize, or politicize racist views (5) clinically significant distress, or hostility, or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas (6) is not the results of other medical illnesses, or substance use. RPD is the foundation of Institutional racism which is so-pervasive and powerful today that institutions have caused the FBI to remove from its website links to the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League. The Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League have historically worked with the FBI on identifying and tracking hate groups.Throughout American history, Blacks have been labeled in efforts to oppress them (Metzl, 2010). For example, in 1851, physician Samuel Cartwright coined the term drapetomania to define Black men who escaped slavery (White, 2002). The term protest psychosis was coined in 1968 by psychiatrists, Walter Bromberg and Franck Simon, who argued that Black Power views, drove Black men insane (Metzl, 2010). The idea that Black men are expected to be criminal and dangerous are ethnic stereotypes in the United States and United Kingdom; this is what is called the criminal-Blackman (Gabbidon et al., 2002). Katheryn Russell-Brown (1998) called this stereotypic myth "criminalblackman." My book addresses this phenomenon, as it relates to current racial profiling in America.

On June 9–10, 1999, President Bill Clinton, Attorney General Janet Reno, civil rights leaders, police, and other government leaders participated in the Strengthening Police-Community Relationships conference in Washington, D.C. During the conference, President Clinton called racial profiling a “morally indefensible, deeply corrosive practice” and further stated that “racial profiling is in fact the opposite of good police work, where actions are based on hard facts, not stereotypes. It is wrong, it is destructive, and it must stop.” As a result of increased national concern over racial profiling, the President directed federal agencies to begin gathering data on the race and ethnicity of persons stopped for future analysis. At a later session of the same conference, participants discussed the design and implementation of racial profiling data collection systems. That discussion featured presentations by state and local jurisdictions where efforts were already under way to collect data on the race, ethnicity, and gender of the individuals police stop. This guide is an outgrowth of that breakout session. As its title suggests, the guide is designed to provide law enforcement, state and local elected officials, civil rights leaders, community organizations, and other local stakeholders with strategies and practices for gathering and analyzing data about police stops. By providing information about the nature, characteristics, and demographics of police enforcement patterns, these data collection efforts have the potential for shifting the rhetoric surrounding racial profiling from accusations, anecdotal stories, and stereotypes to a more rational discussion about the appropriate allocation of police resources. Well-planned and comprehensive data collection efforts can serve as a catalyst for nurturing and shaping this type of community and police discussion. This guide is a blueprint that police and communities can use to develop data collection systems. It offers practical information about implementing these systems and analyzing the data. The guide is not intended to serve as a comprehensive and thorough inventory of all existing data collection systems. It focuses on providing detailed descriptions of data collection efforts in a few selected sites: San Jose, California, which has designed a simple letter-code system allowing information to be collected verbally (via radio) or by computer; San Diego, California, which utilizes an online data collection system; North Carolina, the first state to collect data on traffic stops pursuant to state legislation; Great Britain, which uses a paper based system to collect information on both traffic and pedestrian stops and searches; and New Jersey, which is collecting information on traffic stops pursuant to a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). These sites were first identified by DOJ in preparation for the conference and represent various population sizes and geographic locations. Site visits were later made to obtain further information about each site's data collection process. Since the conference, there has been a flurry of activity in this area and hundreds of jurisdictions have begun to initiate data collection efforts. This resource guide is organized into four main sections: Chapter 2: An introduction to the nature of the problem of racial profiling; Chapter 3: A general description of data collection and its limitations; Chapter 4: Study-site descriptions and analysis; Chapter 5: Recommendations and future goals. The “selected site” approach of this resource guide is intended to encourage and guide police and communities as they begin to take action to evaluate allegations of racial profiling and to help police and communities learn from one another's experiences and successes.
