| Title | ETHNIC PROFILING, POLICE AND CONSTRAINTS: FIGHTING DISCRIMINATION |
| Summary | The thesis debates the phenomenon of ethnic profiling which is one of the growing forms of modern racial and ethnic discrimination. Hidden behind security and safety arguments, this practice constantly stigmatizes minority groups putting them under more rigid surveillance or submitting them to less respectful treatments. This thesis argues that ethnic profiling by law enforcement officers must end. To reach this goal, the thesis discusses the existent legal framework assessing how they prevent or enable discrimination. Moreover, the thesis concludes that measures such as monitoring and recording police activities are fundamental to address the issue of ethnic profiling. |
