Racial profiling: color in the selection of a suspect Composing a detailed study on racial discrimination in police work, this article aims to prove that the trait of skin color contributes to the factor of suspicion, as well as identifying if the police have a perception of the practice of institutional racism. Hence, a database was launched based on questionnaires and the analysis of reports of occurrence in seven units of the Military Police of Pernambuco. In doing so, it was verified that 65.05% of professionals perceive that blacks and those of partblack descent are prioritized in tactics, which corroborates perceptions of students in the Officer Training Program and the Soldier Training Program, with 76.9% and 74%, respectively.
