Answer:

A sociologist taking a micro level of analysis for studying racial profiling would use an approach that alinged with the interactionist perspective.

Step-by-step explanation:

In sociology, micro level theories focus on interactions between small groups, they are concerned for the way that macro level social issues impact on everyday lives and how issues of identity, racism and stereotypes are reproduced or challenged in everyday interactions.

Interactionist perspectives can use different techniques to gather information, in-depth interviews and participant observation are widely used.
