RT Book T1 Ethnic profiling in the European Union: pervasive, ineffective, and discriminatory LA English PP New York, NY PB Open Society Inst. UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/606234454 AB Pervasive use of ethnic and religious stereotypes by law enforcement across Europe is harming efforts to combat crime and terrorism, according to this report released by the Open Society Justice Initiative. Ethnic profiling occurs most often in police decisions about who to stop, question, search, and, at times, arrest. Yet there is no evidence that ethnic profiling actually prevents terrorism or lowers crime rates. Throughout Europe, minorities and immigrant communities have reported discriminatory treatment by the police. From massive data mining operations to intimidating identity checks, ethnic profiling is often more of a public relations stunt than a real response to crime. The report, Ethnic Profiling in the European Union: Pervasive, Ineffective, and Discriminatory, details widespread profiling in France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, and other EU member states.--Publisher description NO Includes bibliographical references (p. 133-195). - Issued by: Open Society Justice Initiative CN HV7936.R3 SN 9781891385889 K1 Racial profiling in law enforcement : Europe K1 Ethnic Groups : Europe K1 Race discrimination : Europe K1 Discrimination in law enforcement : European Union countries K1 Discrimination in law enforcement : Italy K1 Discrimination in law enforcement : France K1 Discrimination in law enforcement : Germany K1 Discrimination in law enforcement : Netherlands K1 Racial profiling in law enforcement : European Union countries K1 Racial profiling in law enforcement : France K1 Racial profiling in law enforcement : Germany K1 Racial profiling in law enforcement : Italy K1 Racial profiling in law enforcement : Netherlands K1 Law Enforcement : European Union countries K1 Europäische Union : Polizei : Ermittlung : Rassendiskriminierung : Profilmethode
