Résumé
"This thesis analyzes racial profiling and policing in the Nassiah decision by the Ontario Human Rights Commission on the conduct of the Peel Regional Police Services (Nassiah v. Peel Services Board, 2007). The thesis analyzes definitions of racial profiling and how each organization resolved the tensions caused by competing agendas and perspectives. I discuss the laws and social policies regarding racial profiling and include an overview of current research and case law on this topic. Five theories - Herbert Packer's crime control model and due process model and "thin-slicing", "social risk theory" and "social exclusion theory" - will be used to examine the roots of racial profiling, the reasons behind officer bias, and to analyze and critique current law enforcement practices and proposed solutions to this problem."--Page ii.
