From: The Colour of Justice

In chapter four, Social Science and Beyond, the evidence for racial profiling is examined, starting with the Ontario Systemic Racism Commission, established in 1992 and continuing with the Toronto Youth Crime and Victimization Survey and the Kingston Data-Collection Project. The chapter then looks at the issue of proactive policing and how it can exacerbate racial profiling, the common links between racial profiling in Canada and other countries, and the impact of global political contexts on racialization of crime.
