Abstract

We have three goals for this presentation: 1) to briefly review why racial profiling-specifically driving while black-catapulted to national attention in the 1990's; 2) to present our research which focuses on the importance of residential segregation or what we call "race and place" to understanding profiling behavior, and; 3) to discuss the implications of our research for the proposed "solutions" to this problem.
