Racial ProfilingRacial Profiling as defined by American Civil Liberty Union refers to the discriminatory practice by law enforcement officials of targeting individuals for suspicion of crime based on the individual's race, ethnicity, religion or national origin. Racial profiling ties to criminal profiling generally, as practiced by police, is the reliance on a group of characteristics they believe to be associated with crime. Racial Profiling occurs across the board in various aspects, social media has given the minorities a platform to create awareness to racial profiling which is keeping us all vigilant on occurrences. StatisticsRacial profiling against minority occurs as a result of a traffic stop most instances, viewing statistics on civilrights.org:In 2005, the NYPD made fewer than 400,000 stops in comparison to a projected more than 500,000 stops in 2008. Over a period of three and one half years, the NYPD has initiated nearly 1.6 million stops of New Yorkers.From 2005 to mid-2008, approximately 80 percent of total stops made were of Blacks and Latinos, who comprise 25 percent and 28 percent of New York City’s total population, respectively. During this same time period, only about 10 percent of stops were of Whites, who comprise 44 percent of the city’s population.From 2005 to mid-2008, Whites comprised 8 percent and Blacks comprised 85 percent of all individuals frisked by the NYPD. In addition, 34 percent of Whites stopped during this time period were frisked, while 50 percent of Blacks and Latinos stopped were frisked.A significant number of stops resulted in the use of physical force by the NYPD. Of those stops, a disproportionate number of Blacks and Latinos had physical force used against them. Between 2005 and mid-2008, 17 percent of Whites, compared to 24 percent of Blacks and Latinos, had physical force used against them during NYPD-initiated encounters.Of the cumulative number of stops made during the three and one-half year period, only 2.6 percent resulted in the discovery of a weapon or contraband. Although rates of contraband yield were minute across all racial groups, stops made of Whites proved to be slightly more likely to yield contraband.Arrest and summons rates for persons stopped between 2005 and mid-2008 were low for all racial groups, with between 4 and 6 percent of all NYPD-initiated stops resulting in arrests and 6 and 7 percent resulting in summons being issued during this period.Examples:Some examples of racial profiling that has been brought to the fore front: Eric GarnerEric Garner was a heavy set black man police officers approached and accused of selling single cigarettes from a pack without a tax stamp. He denied selling the cigarettes and cried out to the police that he was tired of being harassed. The police officers took offence to his attitude and proceeded to arresting him, they placed him in a chokehold which eventually led to his death due to a lack of oxygen. This outraged the African American community as they carried out protests, their civil right leaders and even celebrities spoke on the injustice. Garner’s case was tried and settled for $5.9 million for his wrongful death law suit against the city of New York Police Department. Trayvon Martin Trayvon Martin was a young black teen who was killed by a white neighborhood George Zimmerman watch in Sanford Florida. Martin went to the convenience store to purchase candy and was profiled by Zimmerman who called the cops and ended up shooting Martin. Zimmerman was acquitted and this made the African American community unsafe and victimized.Laws put in place because of racial profiling: Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. expanded Justice Department rules for racial profiling to prevent FBI agents from considering gender, national origin, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity, in addition to race and ethnicity, when opening cases. The department also is banning racial profiling from national security cases for the first time. There are also laws in some states that requires their police officers to wear body cameras.References:https://www.aclu.org/racial-profiling-definitionhttp://www.civilrights.org/publications/reports/racial-profiling2011/the-reality-of-racial.htmlhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/justice-dept-to-announce-new-rules-to-curb-racial-profiling-by-federal-law-enforcement/2014/12/07/e00eca18-7e79-11e4-9f38-95a187e4c1f7_story.html

Having created and revised your outline in Milestone Two, the next step in the process is to create the visual facet of your presentation. Keep in mind that your voice will be the primary carrier of your message and that the visuals play a supporting role. You want your voice and visuals to work together and not compete for attention, so you should minimize the number of words on each slide and maximize the use of visual elements, including photos, illustrations, and graphs.

Here are some resources to help you think about creating effective visuals that will support your oral presentation:

  • How Can I Make My PowerPoint Presentations Amazing?
    This article shares a good variety of resources for using PowerPoint.
  • You Suck at PowerPoint! 5 Shocking Design Mistakes You Need to Avoid
    This slideshow is somewhat irreverent, but makes strong points about presentations.
  • Life After Death by PowerPoint 2010 (9:28)
    This humorous video makes serious points about problems to avoid when creating a presentation.

For this milestone, complete the following tasks:

  • Prepare your slide presentation using the Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric document for reference. Keep in mind that you will be recording the slides on your screen as you narrate them using the recording tool of your choice.
  • Once you have completed the slides, export (or save) the set as a PDF document.
  • Post a message in this discussion, and attach your PDF file and your outline for Milestone Two.
  • View and provide helpful feedback to at least two other presentations, pointing out strengths and improvement suggestions.

For additional details, please refer to the Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric document in the Assignment Guidelines and Rubrics section of the course.
