Title: Racial Profiling: Legal and Constitutional Issues
Authors: Charles V. Dale, American Law Division 
Abstract: The prevalence of racial profiling among federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies has been highlighted by recent legal settlements and data collected by governmental agencies and private groups, suggesting that minorities are disproportionately the subject of routine traffic stops. The issue has attracted considerable interest in the 107th Congress, particularly with regard to existing and proposed legislative safeguards.
