Dr. David Joyce:

On racial profiling, whether it is official policy or not, if it is endemic through an institution, it is there and needs to be challenged, whether through cultural competency training or a top-down approach. We have the statistics from the report, which show that 59% of people who were stopped believe they were racially profiled because they were a Traveller. When we asked them why that was the case, 78% said that the person stopping them knew they were a Traveller. That is very much the perception.
