Abstract
Developing an appropriate benchmark to estimate the population of individuals exposed to police observation is the most important methodological consideration in racial profiling research. This article compares data on stops generated by police officers using the three most common benchmarks in racial profiling research—population, field observations, and accident records—and finds only slight differences in the results. In addition, the article outlines the relative advantages and disadvantages of each benchmark and offers suggestions to future researchers.
