racially targeted policing

Racially targeted policing refers to law enforcement practices that disproportionately focus on or treat individuals based on their race or ethnicity. This can include stopping, searching, or arresting people more often from certain racial groups, often due to biases or stereotypes. Such practices can lead to unequal treatment, erode trust in the justice system, and perpetuate social disparities. Addressing racially targeted policing involves promoting fairness, reviewing policies, and ensuring that enforcement practices are guided by impartiality and respect for all communities.
