520 0  "This book employs a careful, rigorous, yet lively 
       approach to the timely question of whether we can justly 
       generalize about members of a group on the basis of 
       statistical tendencies of that group. For instance, should
       a military academy exclude women because, on average, 
       women are more sensitive to hazing than men? Should 
       airlines force all pilots to retire at age sixty, even 
       though most pilots at that age have excellent vision? Can 
       all pit bulls be banned because of the aggressive 
       characteristics of the breed? And, most controversially, 
       should government and law enforcement use racial and 
       ethnic profiling as a tool to fight crime and terrorism? 
       Frederick Schauer strives to analyze and resolve these 
       prickly questions. When the law "thinks like an actuary"--
       Makes decisions about groups based on averages--the public
       benefit can be enormous. On the other hand, profiling and 
       stereotyping may lead to injustice. And many stereotypes 
       are self-fulfilling, while others are simply spurious. How,
       then, can we decide which stereotypes are accurate, which 
       are distortions, which can be applied fairly, and which 
       will result in unfair stigmatization? These decisions must
       rely not only on statistical and empirical accuracy, but 
       also on morality. Even statistically sound generalizations
       may sometimes have to yield to the demands of justice. But
       broad judgments are not always or even usually immoral, 
       and we should not always dismiss them because of an 
       instinctive aversion to stereotypes. As Schauer argues, 
       there is good profiling and bad profiling. If we can 
       effectively determine which is which, we stand to gain, 
       not lose, a measure of justice."--Publisher's description
