Download or read book Ethnic Profiling in the European Union written by Rachel Neild and published by Open Society Institute. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pervasive use of ethnic and religious stereotypes by law enforcement across Europe is harming efforts to combat crime and terrorism, according to this report released by the Open Society Justice Initiative. Ethnic profiling occurs most often in police decisions about who to stop, question, search, and, at times, arrest. Yet there is no evidence that ethnic profiling actually prevents terrorism or lowers crime rates. Throughout Europe, minorities and immigrant communities have reported discriminatory treatment by the police. From massive data mining operations to intimidating identity checks, ethnic profiling is often more of a public relations stunt than a real response to crime. The report, "Ethnic Profiling in the European Union: Pervasive, Ineffective, and Discriminatory", details widespread profiling in France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, and other EU member states.

In each case, the analysis focuses on the major actors and institutions involved; the cultural norms that often regard corruption as a normal part of doing business; and the attempts by foreign and domestic actors to minimize corruption.

Download or read book Guns and the Law written by Andrew J. McClurg and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: McClurg (a gun-regulation supporter) and Denning (a gun-rights supporter) apply their decades of experience studying firearms policy and gun violence in this balanced, reader-friendly casebook addressing the contentious issues of guns in America. Through cases, problems, and provocative notes and questions, the book explores current federal and state gun laws, major constitutional cases, post-Heller Second Amendment litigation, modern self-defense rules such as Stand Your Ground laws, civil liability, gun laws in other countries, legal solutions to gun violence, and issues of guns and race, alienage, culture, and gender. "In Guns and the Law, Andrew Jay McClurg and Brannon P. Denning deliver a balanced and comprehensive account of gun law and policy in the United States. This is an admirable achievement, especially given that so much gun discourse fails to engage with, or even acknowledge, contrary arguments and evidence. McClurg and Denning's book not only conveys a great deal of historical, political, legal, and practical information, but operationalizes that information by providing a framework with which to understand and debate it. Guns and the Law will be a standard reference for scholars, students, and other interested readers--a welcome addition to an area of scholarship and discourse that desperately needs more voices like McClurg's and Denning's." -- Joseph Blocher, Professor at Duke University School of Law To listen to the authors discuss gun regulation vs. guns rights on the Un-Uninformed podcast, click here.

Download or read book Reducing Ethnic Profiling in the European Union written by Rachel Neild and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnic profiling by police in Europe is a widespread form of discrimination that violates basic human rights norms. Ethnic profiling is also inefficient: it leads police to focus on racial and ethnic traits rather than genuine indicators of suspicion, and results in stopping and searching large numbers of innocent people. Fortunately, better alternatives exist approaches to policing that are fairer and more effective. This handbook documents those approaches and offers guidance to help cut down on discrimination and increase police efficacy.
