Title: Profiling Minorities: A Study of Stop-and-Search Practices in Paris

Summary: This report states that police officers in Paris consistently stop people on the basis of ethnicity and dress rather than on the basis of suspicious individual behavior. This report documents over 500 police stops over a one-year period and across five locations in and around the Gare du Nord train station and Chatelet-Les Halles commuter rail stations. Data show that blacks and Arabs were more likely to be stopped than whites. The report offers a number of recommendations to address the issue.
