jdrew39 		The first step in preventing racial differences is to change peoples hearts. If a person wants from his "seat of motivation", the heart, to regard all equally is to look beyond their race, their level of education, their social status, their economic level. This applies not only to law enforcement professionals, but to all citizens of the planet. Is this possible? No, because some peoples hearts cannot be changed. Only those who have a desire to live at peace with their neighbors are able to be educated that we all came from one common ancestor. We are all brothers, but not all people believe or for that matter want to believe that we have a common ancestry. Our creator, the Father of all of us, wants peace to reign on this earth. He loves his creation just as a father loves his children. And so, for all humans "to respond positively to the special needs of a multicultural community" they must adopt the principle..."Love your neighbor as yourself." John 13:34, 35. Because not all want to adopt this way of life, our Father, who will soon bring to the earth the peaceful reign of his chosen Prince of Peace, will soon take action also against the ungodly. You have undoubtedly heard of the great flood of Noah's day, the destruction of the ungodly of Sodom and Gomorrah. These events are a warning upon those of us who are living in these last days....2 Timothy 3:1-5. Those who do not want to be peaceable with and love their fellow humans will not be allowed to disturb the peace of those who survive the end of this system of things and do love their neighbors as they love themselves....Matt. 24:3.

Doctor Bob 		Math Fanatic,
Your answer is very professional. Only problem- it has been turned in as a grade for someone else.
I suggest that Christian meet us half way, i.e., do student research, provide student answer, and then ask tutors to reflect and respond. Otherwise we tutors are turning the site into a convenient home for cheaters who are looking for an easy way to get their homework done.
Students need to meet us halfway. Otherwise we are endorsing and encouraging cheating, ESPECIALLY with on-line courses.
Just my opinion after thirty years in the classroom.
Thanks for listening.
Bob

math_fanatic 		Are you referring to racial profiling?

About the best law enforcement could do on that front is to educate their employees, however I do not believe that all racial profiling is wrong. Human beings evolved to discriminate between things that are harmful and things that are not.

A problem only arises when we fail to recognize the origins of our discrimination. For example, 60% of prison populations consist of minorities. If a police officer decides based on that statistic to pull over minorities more often than whites then his reasoning is circular. He will arrest more minorities because he pulls over more minorities than whites and minorities will continue to represent a larger percentage of the prison population.

Whether minorities commit more crimes or not remains to be seen but apparently they are caught in the act more often, possibly because officers focus on them more often.

When it comes to racial profiling of Muslims because, at the moment, they seem to pose the biggest threat to our national security, I think there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. We need to respect the rights of everyone regardless of their race, religion, nationality, etc. but I don't think we should sacrifice safety for the sake of political correctness. If there are two men at an airport acting suspiciously and one has blond hair and blue eyes and the other appears to be of Arab descent and you only get to pick one to pull aside and screen more thoroughly, are you going to go with the white guy out of a sense of racial justice for Muslims? Or are you going to pick the guy who most likely fits the current stereotype of a terrorist?

That isn't to say you'd be right in picking the Muslim (granted we don't know for sure that he is, he just looks like one), but it's a numbers game. The white guy could be the real crazy one with serious intentions of causing harm but we didn't survive as a species this long by not taking the safe bets most of the time. You'd be smart to pull aside the guy who looks Muslim even at the risk of appearing racist. Would you rather save a plane full of people and be called a racist or look like a tolerant saint and take the chance of sending people to their deaths?

Now, don't get me wrong. I do not believe that Muslims or those who "look" like Muslims have been treated fairly since the events of 9/11. I have good friends who were harassed in the streets and called names simply because they looked like Muslims (whether they are or not is unimportant). They were insulted, belittled, and threatened and were completely innocent. Not only innocent but really good, decent people who couldn't in a million years deserve that kind of treatment.

I think that if racial profiling is used it should be used with discretion and consideration of the individual being profiled. The person should be treated with respect and dignity even if found guilty. Brutality, racial slurs, arbitrary legal delays, and detention without just cause should NEVER be inflicted upon anyone.

To get back to your question, I think the best thing law enforcement professionals can do is to take that last sentence to heart and ensure that they set a proper example for society.
