Assignment: Justifying Profiling
The business of drug trafficking can be dangerous. Therefore, those working in law enforcement have developed tools to help make their jobs a bit safer and use data to inform how they approach their work.

In a minimum of 300 words, respond to the following:
• Explain whether you believe that profiling (or certain types of profiling) can be justified, given the consequences associated with the smuggling of drugs. Be sure to use the textbook to support your ideas.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
