Victims are often subjected to violence and false arrests by police officers. The document advocates presenting a bill called the Racial Profiling Prevention Act to address this issue. It also suggests organizing communities through events like protests to raise awareness of racial profiling and push for change.
racial profiling
Racial profiling involves targeting minorities by police and others without probable cause. It may be more common due to hate crimes, gang violence, the war on drugs, and terrorist attacks. Two controversial cases involved racial profiling that resulted in injury and death. Statistics show that African Americans and Hispanics are more likely to be pulled over and searched by police compared to whites. The media can help bring attention to issues of police corruption and racial profiling but may also influence public opinion. Preventing future cases of racial profiling requires stricter laws against the practice as well as more education for police and the public. Racial profiling should not be tolerated at any level.

The Garden State Model? Redistricting Commissions and the New Jersey ExperiencePaul Simon Public Policy Institute
This document summarizes the key findings of a study on redistricting commissions. It discusses three types of commissions and details New Jersey's bipartisan commissions. Metrics are presented showing New Jersey commissions significantly outperformed other states in partisan fairness and competitiveness. Regressions indicate commissions generally perform better than legislatures, though foreign models and nonpartisan commissions may be better. The conclusion advocates for prioritizing partisan fairness and competitiveness, and ensuring skilled leadership if using bipartisan commissions.Racial profiling ppt
The document discusses how laws intended to protect national security and enforce immigration can be abused and lead to racial profiling and inequality. It provides examples of immigration laws throughout American history that discriminated against non-white groups. While laws like Stop and Frisk and post-9/11 security measures had good intentions, they also gave power to law enforcement that could infringe on civil liberties and target minority groups disproportionately. The document argues that racial profiling has been a problem in the application of laws around national security, immigration, and police stops from the founding of the US to the present day.

Ch. 7-8
During the late 1800s and early 1900s, cities in the United States grew rapidly due to large numbers of immigrants and migrants from rural areas. This caused overcrowding and poor living conditions in cities. Problems included cramped housing known as tenements, lack of transportation and sanitation infrastructure, disease outbreaks, high crime rates, and poverty. In response, cities implemented reforms such as building codes, water treatment, garbage collection systems, police forces, and firefighters. Labor unions also advocated for workers' rights to address low wages and long hours. Corruption was widespread in political machines that controlled many city governments; civil service reforms in the 1880s aimed to establish merit-based hiring in the public sector.

Since 1948, popularly elected governors have served and in 1952 a constitution provided for internal self-government. In plebiscites, voters chose to retain commonwealth status, though in 2012 a majority voted for statehood which is pending Congressional approval.
Ch. 10.1.2
This document provides an overview of America's emergence as an imperial power in the late 19th century. It discusses the Spanish-American War of 1898, which was precipitated by Cuban revolts against Spanish rule and inflamed by "yellow journalism" in the American press. The sinking of the USS Maine further raised tensions. The U.S. defeated Spain and gained control of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. This victory marked America's arrival as a world power with overseas territories and colonies.
Immigration and Urbanization
Political machines like Tammany Hall provided social services and jobs to immigrants in cities in exchange for votes, leading to corruption. Boss Tweed and the "Tweed Ring" controlled Tammany Hall and embezzled millions, leading to reforms like the Pendleton Civil Service Act to establish merit-based government hiring. Most late 1800s/early 1900s presidents pushed reforms, with the exceptions of Grant and Taft who maintained the status quo.

Ch. 6 ppt
The Industrial Revolution took off in the late 1800s due to several key factors: new inventions like the Bessemer process for steel production, growing cities and markets, abundant natural resources, and government policies that supported businesses. Railroads connected these growing cities and markets, spurring further industrialization. Some businessmen like Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Vanderbilt amassed huge fortunes and monopolies in industries like steel, oil, and railroads. Labor unions struggled against monopolistic practices and dangerous working conditions, using strikes, but often faced violent opposition from private militias and government forces. The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 aimed to regulate monopolies and trusts.
Ch. 5.3.4.5
During Greece's Golden Age in the 5th century BC, Athens flourished in art, philosophy and democracy under the rule of Pericles. Pericles strengthened Athenian democracy and used money from the Delian League to fund architectural projects like the Parthenon. However, Athens' growing power led to conflicts and the Peloponnesian War with Sparta. Meanwhile, philosophers like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle asked fundamental questions, influencing Western thought. Later, Philip II and his son Alexander the Great conquered Greece and much of the known world, spreading Hellenistic culture across a vast empire from Egypt to India.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
