A Double-Edged Sword

Carding, Public Safety, and the Impact of Racialized Police Practices

From: Racial Profiling and Human Rights in Canada

$1.40

In Chapter 11, Scot Wortley, a professor of criminology at the University

of Toronto, makes the case that the consequences of racial profiling far

outweigh the potential benefits, and that discretionary police tactics — including police practices of carding and street checks — require monitoring

mechanisms in order to ensure transparency and public accountability.
