To address a critical gap in the social work literature, this article examines the deleterious effects of racial profiling as it pertains to police targeting of male African Americans. The authors use the Trayvon Martin court case to exemplify how racial profiling and black male stigma help perpetuate social inequality and injustice for black men. A racism-centered perspective is examined historically and contemporarily as a theoretical approach to understanding the role that race plays in social injustice through racial profiling. Implications for social work research design and practice aimed at increasing the social work knowledge base on racial profiling are discussed. The authors call for attention and advocacy by major social work organizations in the reduction of black male stigma and racial profiling.
为填补社会工作文献中的一个关键空白，本文探讨了种族定性的有害影响，因为它涉及警方针对非洲裔美国男性的目标行为。作者利用特雷沃恩·马丁案来举例说明种族定性和黑人男性污名如何助长了针对黑人男性的社会不平等和不公正。作为一种理论方法，本文从历史和当代两个角度审视了以种族主义为中心的观点，以理解种族如何通过种族定性在社会不公正中发挥作用。讨论了旨在增加社会工作关于种族定性知识库的研究设计和实践的意义。作者呼吁主要社会工作组织关注并倡导减少黑人男性污名和种族定性。
