Panel 2: “Why Aren’t We There Yet?" Four Decades of Evidence | Racial Profiling in Policing

Discriminatory profiling and the stereotypes underpinning them have been denounced for decades, and yet there is no national law or standard in Canadian policing that prohibits random stops and similar practices that lie at the core of police racial profiling everywhere.

On March 25, 2021, the Max Bell School of Public Policy hosted “Racial Profiling in Policing” in order to critically examine these systemic issues. This online conference brought together speakers with expertise and personal experience to discuss innovative policy solutions and to foster community trust among marginalized and racialized communities, including Black people, Indigenous people and people of colour.

In the second panel, “‘Why Aren’t We There Yet?’ Four Decades of Evidence”, our speakers examined the role of human rights-based approaches, codes of ethics, and data collection in creating police accountability.

The speakers for this panel were Marlene Jennings, Anne-Marie Livingstone (whose portion is no longer available to watch), Scot Wortley, and Kanika Samuels-Wortley.
