Racial Profiling and Police: the Council of Europe’s call as an opportunity not to be missed
In response to the request from the President of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) of the Council of Europe to conduct an independent study on racial profiling in police activities in Italy, this paper provides a critical reflection on the concepts of institutional racism, racial profiling, and the role of the police, employing the notion of the threshold of acceptance of racism as its interpretative framework. Moreover, the paper underscores the urgent need to initiate research in Italy on police stops and checks targeting ethnic minorities, thereby addressing the call issued by the Council of Europe.
