Racial profiling is the practice of targeting individuals for suspicion of crime based on their race or ethnicity rather than their behavior or evidence of criminal activity. It often stems from implicit or unconscious biases and can negatively impact police-community relations by eroding trust and legitimacy. While proponents argue it aids law enforcement, critics say it violates civil liberties and is an ineffective policing strategy that can do more harm than good.
