Topic- Racial Profiling
Essential Question- What are the specific reasons for an increased amount of Racial Profiling among African American males, how can it be decreased ?
Statement Of Interest :
I am interested because certain races are targeted in America. Another reason why I'm interested because its going on in our society and young males are targeted. I want to show the unjust in our communities, and how we can decrease this. Another reason why I am interested is because racial profiling has been going on in our world for a long time. If I can make the racial profiling clear to my peers, I hope to change and lessen the amount of racial profiling. Also, because seeing what young black males go through today is upseting and another reason is, because I just had my son two months ago and I don't want him to go through the same thing as he gets older.
Project Overview & Goals:
My project overview is to learn more about racial profiling and why do cops target African American males more than any other race.
Audience: Police Officials
