In Cold Blood profiling

shared by Ellen L on 21 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • "is sit down and look through cases where the criminals had been arrested. I listed how old [the perpetrators] were, whether they were male or female, their level of education. Did they come from broken families? Did they have school behavioral problems? I listed as many factors as I could come up with, and then I added them up to see which were the most common."
  • "The basic premise is that behavior reflects personality," explains retired FBI agent Gregg McCrary. In a homicide case, for example, FBI agents glean insight into personality through questions about the murderer's behavior at four crime phases:Antecedent: What fantasy or plan, or both, did the murderer have in place before the act? What triggered the murderer to act some days and not others?Method and manner: What type of victim or victims did the murderer select? What was the method and manner of murder: shooting, stabbing, strangulation or something else?Body disposal: Did the murder and body disposal take place all at one scene, or multiple scenes?Postoffense behavior: Is the murderer trying to inject himself into the investigation by reacting to media reports or contacting investigators
  • Among those in the profiling field, the tension between law enforcement and psychology still exists to some degree. "The difference is really a matter of the FBI being more oriented towards investigative experience than [academic psychologists] are," says retired FBI agent McCrary.

    This article discusses crime and offender profiling. This relates to ICB because up until the two criminals are caught, the sheriff and deputy spend hours pouring over the crime details in an attempt to characterize the type of people who committed the act.

    Profiles of different Migrant worker organizations. If these had existed in the time of The Jungle and GOW, maybe things would have been easier for the two families! In the modern day, these groups all work to make sure the basic needs of workers are met, and that they are not being exploited or used.

    Gives an overview of Capotes life which we learn nearly nothing about, his relationship with perry which is obviously sympathetic is somewhat odd, and after reading of his early nice, seeing the movement of his family and the divorce of his parents it makes you wonder if that sympathy stems from a connection he sees between himself and perry.

police brutality

  • In New York City in February 1999 Amaduo Diallo was shot 19 times and killed by four white officers who fired 41 shots at him. He had no criminal record and carried only a beeper and a wallet. The officers were looking for a rape suspect. Diallo did not even fit the profile except for the fact that he was a black man

    This article discusses police brutality cases, a reoccurring event in IM and Malcolm X. Often this brutality is a result of discrimination based on race, age sex, etc.

Invisible man Booker T Washington

shared by Ellen L on 01 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Washington had a controversial approach to education, but one that enabled him to raise funds and support from whites. Because education for African Americans was illegal during the years of slavery, many whites in the south were still opposed to the idea of education for all, and often institutions of education for African Americans were the target of hate crimes and vandalism.
  • Washington provided an industrial and agricultural education for his students, much like the education he received at the Hampton Institute, as a way of limiting the backlash against his school from whites.
  • He claimed that African Americans could advance their social status through hard work, without ending segregation.

    This discusses Washington's approach to the betterment of his race. Like many of the other approaches, education is a key point; however, unlike many others, Washington's approach lacks the action necessary for great change.
