Profiling is a method used by suggesting the offender’s personality and help to also determine the demographic characteristics of the suspect. When using the offender profile the officer or investigator must understand that this will not solve crimes. Profiling can also be used as a tool by investigators to help guide with what direction that the investigation may tend to go in (Hector, 2016). When using any type of information that may help to create information in profiling the investigator can look at how detailed the knot is tied. Also looking at what shape the victims clothes are in and making note to whether the clothes are torn, cut off and if the offender used any type of tools during the crime can also help in the profiling of the offender (Hector, 2016). …show more content…
One of the rapists that are identified is the organized criminal, he tends to want and establish control over the victim to eventually to gain control and ultimately get what he wants in return. The second type of offender is the aggressive offender; he tends to use his anger on the victim by violence and usually will leave the victim with wounds. The last type of offender is the offender that wants to develop a relationship with the victim and then will imagine that there is some type of relationship with the victim. This type of offender is very dangerous due to the fact that he may see her as a dangerous object and will want to tie her up to coerce her in any way that he can (Hector,
In law, criminal profiling is used to determine and identify likely suspects and analyze their patterns to predict future offenses or victims. Profiling is one of the important tools used by the government to help in curbing the spread of criminal activities in a region. One of the most popular cases in the history that used this tool is the David Richard (son of Sam) case. David Richard is an American serial killer convicted of a series of shooting attacks in New York. Son of Sam as he is popularly known killed six victims and wounded seven others in the summer of 1977.
Introduction In the article “Black Judges are Tougher on Black and White Offenders”, Dr. Darrell Steffensmeier did exclusive research on prison sentencing and treatment given to both black and white offenders by black and white judges. Steffensmeier provides details that support his finding of how black judges and white judges sentence their defendants differently. Through his study at Penn State University, Steffensmeier gives information that describes the harsher treatment that black defendants may face more than white defendants when it comes to having black judges instead of white judges. In the end, Steffensmeier gives a synopsis of how black judges' emotional state can be an issue while sentencing their defendants and whether the race factor matters in the justice system and the courtroom.
The information used comes from other crimes scenes, police reports, psychological evaluations, and victimology reports. When using inductive reasoning, the profiler must first start with a hypothesis, and then information is gathered to support or reject the hypothesis. This type of profiling focuses on the “typical” offender for the type of crime they committed (Bartol & Bartol,
Paragraph #1 Topic Sentence: It is very difficult to come to a conclusion in regards to how a suspect that committed a specific crime looks like. Support: Just about anybody can commit any crime. Males, females, and adolescences can all commit any crime. Based on previous offenses, criminal profilers look at the type of people that committed that same crime and connect characteristics to suspects that might have committed that crime.
Convicted Felons and the Labeling Theory Paige Leary November 30, 2015 Criminology Delinquent, criminal, felon, all are labels that society give people who have been convicted of crime and therefore believed to have no respect for the law. Once an individual has been associated as someone who has no respect for the law they are often ostracized from their social groups. When a criminal has been denied by their friend groups they often begin to associate with people who are “like” them meaning that they are now associated with people who also engage in deviant behavior (Forensic Psych). All of the delinquent behavior that occurs after they have been ostracized from their original social group has been often the cause of them being
Racial profiling is the discriminatory practice by law enforcement officials of targeting individuals for suspicion of crime based off of race, religion, ethnicity, or national origin. All across America there are examples of this. Most recently the Black Lives Matter movement has erupted in America, bringing to the public’s attention the issue of racial profiling. As a result of racial profiling people have died and started riots. This issue has also come to the point of people committing suicide for their cause.
There are many other methods can be used in place of racial profiling. One method that could be used is called the "call-in" approach which was created by Professor David Kennedy who is a criminal justice professor at John Jay college. The "call-in" approach is when law enforcement or community leaders request meetings with gang members, and drug dealers. During these meetings families of gun violence and ex offender victims are there to talk to these gang members and drug dealers. They give them a chance to stop committing crimes or they will not only arrest them they will also arrest anyone else involved in their crimes.
Racial profiling speculating that certain individuals are more likely to be involved in criminal activity or terrorism based on their race or ethnicity. Law enforcement officers often profile certain types of individuals who are more likely to perpetrate crimes based on that person’s race, national origin, or ethnicity. Most people think this type of profiling is unfair,

Racial profiling is the discriminating practise of targeting someone for suspicions of committing a crime based on their race, ethnicity, or religion. Racial profiling is a problem that has been around for many centuries ever since the white majority have learnt that all the people in the world are not the same color or race. In today's world racial profiling is an extreme problem because of law enforcement in the USA having a very high usage rate of it. This has greatly affected the African American populations of the USA because police have racially profiled many African Americans just because of their color. Though this is happening a lot, it is not something that is silently being watched by America.
Criminal profiling “is the ability of police officials to come to logical conclusions based upon the totality of circumstances related to indicators or certain criminal activity and/or behavior.” (Scism, 2016) Criminal profiling
In 2005, however, Supreme Court, granted to review the Ninth Circuit ruling and as a result overturned the Ninth Circuit ruling and ruled that California’s policy of assigning inmates to racially segregated cells constitutionally suspect and the Court dismissed the “separate but equal” policy (Grumberger, 274). Justice Sandra Day O’Connor wrote, “We rejected the notion that separate can ever be equal.. 50 years ago in Brown v. Board of Education, and we refuse to resurrect it today,” As a result the court ruled that policies that create race-based classifications are subject to strict scrutiny (Noll, 849). Strict scrutiny is the level of review used when a fundamental constitutional right is infringed, or when the government action involves
I determined these questions by thinking about what professional profilers might ask if they were studying this crime as

In 2013 Nicholas Groth a psychologist at ST. Lawrence University, discovered three particular characteristics from the rapist such as “the anger rapist, the power rapist, and the sadistic rapist” (ST. Lawrence University, 2013). In a male perpetrator procedure of raping the victim, the first thing he will do is enhance his aggression emotion to her, second he will utilize his emotions by attacking her, and third he will feel innocent even though there are fingerprints or bruises on her body. Another perpetrator can be him manipulating his imagination in a way to force his image by sending his energy of being control and feeling loved to her.
