Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 overview
Racial profiling by the Police is a reality in Canada. It is an age old custom going on for
ages in the country which has not been much talked about. The police authority being the
protector of morals and crime in the society has been a disappointment for racial profiling
individuals in terms of race (Cao, 2014). According to the Ontario Human Rights Commission,
black people are more subjected to be killed or injured by the Toronto Police officers (Weber &
Bowling, 2014). The Human Rights commission had launched an enquiry in context to the racial
profiling and anti-black discrimination by the police in Canada.
