Racial profiling is as prejudiced behavior by law enforcer’s officials by aiming individuals for crime suspicion based on their ethnicity, race, national origin, and religion. Law enforcement officials rely on individuals' characteristics and believe they were associated with a particular crime (Headley and Wright, 2020). An example of racial profiling is when law enforcers stop drivers belonging to a specific race after they have violated minor traffic rules or when they use race or religion to determine the pedestrians' viability to search for illegal contraband.
