What is Definition?

 

Ironically, the definition of the term “definition essay” is not very specific.  Definition essays are short pieces of writing on a particular topic.  However, not every essay on a topic can be properly labeled a definition essay.  Instead, a definition essay is an attempt to describe the topic thoroughly enough for the reader to understand it very well and might be compared to an encyclopedia entry for the topic.  Any of our example essays could provide a good start on a definition essay about the topic.  However, we have collected a sample of our best definition essays and included them below to help you explore the genre.

Racial Profiling the Distinguished Harvard Professor Henry
The essay is an argument on the injustice of racial profiling. Racial profiling is the practice of law enforcement officers in stopping an individual of a certain race or ethnicity and investigating them based on their ethnicity. Such practices may occur in traffic routines, guns or drugs (African Americans), illegal immigration (Hispanics or Latinos), or in matters connected with security (Muslims and Arabs). Racial profiling was authorized in 2001 with the Bureau of Justice Assistance, a division of the Office of Justice Programs, United States Department of Justice, establishing the web-based Racial Profiling Data Collection Resource Center. The website was designed to train police officials in the ropes and tactics of racial profiling and also served as clearing house for police agencies, legislators, community leaders, social scientists, legal researchers, and journalists all of which can be used to collect and formulate racial profiling analyses (*The Institute on Race and Justice at Northeastern University. (2011).). In 2003, however, the Department of Justice issued its Guidance Regarding the Use of Race by Federal Law Enforcement Agencies forbidding the practice of racial profiling by federal law enforcement officials (*Amnesty International USA.(2007)
