ABSTRACT
Two important objectives of racial profiling research are: (1) it should offer sufficient information in order to enhance our understanding of it; and (2) it should be practical enough to offer guidance that may lead to new or improved public policy. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the implications of the data reported in this book. In other words, what does it all mean? In addition, perhaps more importantly, how can it be used to improve fundamental practice or policy? The implications for both the police practice and racial minority citizens are also discussed. This chapter purposively presents the implications in a very practical manner. There is no beating around the bush; the implications evolved directly from the interview data.
