This book presents the results of nine investigations into police profiling conducted by specialists who studied the practices of police forces in Quebec, France and Argentina. It highlights the dynamics of intersection between different types of profiling (racial, social, political and gender, among others) and thus stands out from the habit of studying this phenomenon based on a single characteristic. While exposing the particularities of each profiling, it thus opens the way to intersectional studies on the subject.

Of burning topicality, and highly relevant from a social science perspective, this collection will be of interest to anyone concerned about growing inequalities in our societies as well as the violence suffered by discriminated, stigmatized and marginalized populations targeted by the police.
