From: The Colour of Justice

Chapter one defines and outlines the scope of racial profiling in Canada by police with a case study whereby an unwarranted police encounter was challenged, resulting in a police strike in Toronto. The chapter then introduces the concepts of systemic racism, stereotyping and racialization, before delving deeper into racial profiling in Canada, and the ways it manifests in Canadian policing. The examples of driving while Black or travelling while Arab are given as common racial profiling scenarios.
