David Harris studies, writes, and teaches about police behavior, law enforcement and race, and politicing and immigration, search and seizure law, and national security issues and the law. Professor Harris is the leading national authority on racial profiling. His 2002 book, Profiles in Injustice: Why Racial Profiling Cannot Work, and his scholarly articles in the field of traffic stops of minority motorists and stops and frisks, influenced the national debate on profiling and related topics. His work led to federal efforts to address the practice and to legislation and voluntary efforts in over half the states and hundreds of police departments. He has testified multiple times in the U.S. Congress and before many state legislative bodies on profiling and related issues. His other books include "Good Cops: The Case for Preventive Policing" (2005), and "Failed Evidence: Why Law Enforcement Resists Science" (2012). He gives talks and does professional training for law enforcement, judges, and attorneys throughout the country, and presents his work regularly in academic conferences.

A freewill offering for PIIN will be collected at the end of the presentation. 

Co-sponsored by Temple Sinai.
