Nice job on your post, your outline and topic sounds interesting and might shine some light on the ever growing problem of racial profiling. I must say that I do not really agree with one of your authors which is Austin, M. and his take on racial profiling. The reason being that racial profiling might have started out as a great idea, but some were along the line someone crossed them and made it more of targeted race issue. Now, this not just my take on this issue, but with all the court cases being filed for racial profiling death or incidents and the massive reports by the media.
