Question

which of the following is an example of racial profiling in law enforcement? when building a legitimate profile of a criminal, the officer focuses on the persons methods of operation, rather than on their race or ethnicity. an officer assuming that persons of a given race or ethnicity are more likely to have committed a crime an officer determining whether a person seems to be \out of place\ (i.e., not a resident of a particular area or neighbourhood), but is not relying on the persons race or ethnicity to conclude that the person is \up to no good.\ an officer focusing on a persons conduct, rather than on their physical characteristics such as skin colour.

Explanation:

Racial profiling in law enforcement involves making assumptions about a person's likelihood of criminal behavior based on their race or ethnicity. The first option focuses on methods of operation (not race/ethnicity), the third option is about being "out of place" (not race - based), and the fourth option focuses on conduct (not physical characteristics like skin color). The second option, where an officer assumes a given race/ethnicity is more likely to have committed a crime, is a classic example of racial profiling as it uses race/ethnicity as a basis for criminal suspicion.

Answer:

An officer assuming that persons of a given race or ethnicity are more likely to have committed a crime.
