Two competing theoretical perspectives are commonly used to explain racial/ethnic differences in law enforcement practices. Differential offending theory claims that racial/ethnic groups commit crimes at varying rates, often explicitly alleging that minorities (blacks and Latinos specifically) are disproportionately involved in criminal enterprises. Differential enforcement theory cites the asymmetrical application of the law and the uneven distribution of law enforcement resources across racial/ethnic groups as the primary source of differences. Racial profiling, a form of differential enforcement, refers to the improper use of racial/ethnic information by officers in their decision-making, and this term has become the popular classification for any and all criticisms associated with racial/ethnic bias in policing. Complaints associated with racial profiling include the targeting of black and Latino drivers for pretext stops---high-discretion stop-and-search tactics promoted by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as part of the "War on Drugs".

520 $a This dissertation investigates accusations of racial profiling leveled against the Eugene (OR) Police Department (EPD) using vehicle stop data collected by the department in 2002 and 2003. An inductive data analysis strategy focusing on a thorough statistical description of enforcement dynamics in Eugene is employed in an effort to examine not only the direct impact of race/ethnicity, but also the overall racial/ethnic context of EPD's enforcement practices. The analysis reveals important differences in vehicle stop practices between Asian, black, and Latino drivers when compared to white drivers, and logistic regression confirms that several of these differences are directly associated with the driver's race/ethnicity. Furthermore, the findings indicate that enforcement patterns are influenced by a number of factors, including the time and location of the stop, the driver's age and sex, and the violation that led to the stop. While the analysis shows that offending plays a vital role in shaping enforcement practices, the findings reject the idea that differential offending is responsible for the observed differences. Taken collectively, the patterns strongly suggest that EPD is targeting black and Latino drivers for pretext stops.
