Abstract
The topic that I choose to discuss as my final paper is Racial
Profiling versus Behavioral Profiling. The reason for choosing
this topic is because it is one of the most popular topics in
Criminal Justice, and it is also something we face daily in our
society. Racial Profiling is a discriminatory practice by law
enforcement officials of targeting individuals for suspicion of
crime based on the individual’s race, ethnicity, religion and
national origin. Behavioral Profiling is the process of
observing, anticipating, and interpreting a specific behavior.
The main issues at hand with these two are they’re happening
around us each and every day in some form or fashion. Now
that we now the difference between the two, let’s look at a brief
description of the two. Racial profiling deals with a law
enforcement official stopping and or searching a vehicle as well
as the driver based on the individuals race. Rather than looking
at the violation of the law, the official looks at the suspicion of
the individual. Behavioral profiling deals heavily from
cognitive psychology and often, on the personal experiences
with a previous crime and the subjective interpretation of the
profiler. This topic is related to the learning outcomes outlined
in this syllabus because this is one of the strongest topics in the
criminal justice field. It is also related to criminal justice
because it focuses on the outlook of what goes on in society
daily. This has been an issue throughout history and it continues
to happen each and every day.

Abstract
The topic that I choose to discuss as my final paper is Racial
Profiling versus Behavioral
Profiling. The reason for choosing this topic is because it is one
of the most popular topics in
Criminal Justice, and it is also something we face daily in our
soci
ety. Racial Profiling is a
discriminatory practice by law enforcement officials of
targeting individuals for suspicion of
crime based on the individual’s race, ethnicity, religion and
national origin.
Behavioral Profiling
is the process of observing, anti
cipating, and interpreting a specific behavior. The main
issues at
hand with these two are
they’re happening around us each and every day in some form

8. or
fashion. Now that we now the difference between the two, let’s
look at a brief description of the
two
. Racial profiling deals with a law enforcement official stopping
and or searching a vehicle as
well as the driver based on the individuals race. Rather than
look
ing at the violation of the law,
the official looks at the suspicion of the individual. Behavi
oral profiling deals heavily from
cognitive psychology and often, on the personal experiences
with a previous crime and the
subjective interpretation of the profiler.
This topic is related to the learning outcomes outlined in
this syllabus because this is
one of the strongest topics in the criminal justice field. It is also
related to criminal justice because it focuses on the outlook of
what goes on in society daily. This
has been an issue throughout history and it continues to happen
each and every day.

9. This is a required textbook from Theories of Criminology, an
undergraduate course. During the class I found this textbook to
be very informational with regards to the subject matter
discussed. Some topics in the textbook include the Schools of
Thought throughout History, Explanations of Crime and
Criminal Behavior and Strain and Cultural Deviance Theories. I
thought it could aid my understanding of the topic of victim
precipitated murder. I was hoping for a more elaborate
discussion on the topic, but found that there was a mere mention
of victim precipitated murder. While I believe that this source
has a great amount of potential as a reference for other topic, it
was not a very extensive source for the topic of victim
precipitated murder.
Aquino, K. and Byron, K., (2002). Dominating interpersonal
behavior and perceived
victimization in groups: Evidence for a curvilinear relationship.
Journal of Management, 28(1), 69-87.
From reading the abstract of this source I was hoping to find
information about the type of personality that could possibly
provoke a victim precipitated homicide. The context,
workgroups, doesn’t entirely fit into the topic, but the
information provide can be related back to victim precipitated
homicide. The authors did a great job of supporting their
theories with reliable research and sources. While I only
utilized a small portion of the source, the information helped to
confirm and reinforce another source I used. I believe that this
article would be of sound use to someone writing a paper
discussing the psychology of how people interact with one
another in a group setting.
Baker, H., (2008). Constructing women who experience male
violence: Criminal legal discourse and individual experiences.

10. Liverpool Law Review, 29, 123-142.
I also chose to include this article in the concept paper because
it contained collaborative information verifying another chosen
source. The article contains information about the domestic
context of victim precipitated murder, which is a highly
researched subject. The article mainly discusses sexual assault
as opposed to actual homicide, but also offers a psychological
profile of how women construct themselves in accordance with
society and personal experiences. The article as a whole is very
reliable in regards to a women’s perspective on the subject of
male violence. Therefore, I do have to make the conclusion that
I believe the article to biased in the respect that it is difficult to
take an unbiased position on a subject that is itself gender bias.

(Ed.), Lethal Violence: A Sourcebook on Fatal Domestic,
Acquaintance and Stranger Violence(pp. 175-202). Boca Raton,
Fl: CRC Press.
This source is a sourcebook discussing research associated with
domestic, aquanitance and stranger violence. Of all of the
resources utilized in the development of this paper, I believe
that this source is the most informative and reliable. The author
did a great job of introducing the topic from its conception and
following though in a concise and understandable format. Foote
also offered his own evaluation and theories on the subject of
victim precipitated murder, as opposed to simply citing past
research and allowing the reader to conclude what they wish.
The author takes hold of the subject and evaluates the issues at
face value. I would highly recommend anyone researching any
of the aforementioned topics utilize this resource to its fullest.

11. Gellert, G. A., (1997). Confronting violence. Oxford, UK:
Westview Press.
I chose not to include any of the information presented in this
source. Victim precipitation is not specifically mentioned, even
though the topics presented in the text could be relevant to the
discussion. The topics discussed physical and emotional abuse
of children, spouse abuse and domestic and intimate violence
against women and murder and homicide—ever more random.
The subtopics aren’t organized in a fashion to my liking. The
book is intended for the general public and professionals and
would be a good quick reference to the topics included.

subculture of violence thesis. The Social Science Journal, 41,
115-121.
This is an excellent source to be used when composing a paper
related specifically to victim precipitated homicide and how it
relates to African Americans. The article contains an analysis of
actual research conducted with past studies used as support.
While the researcher’s findings were found not to support his
original hypothesis, this is still an important step in the research
process as a whole. His research of past studies also
collaborates Foote’s research which is why I found it important
to include in my concept paper. The author did an excellent job
of explaining his processes and reiterating his findings.

This article basically discusses the relationship between victim

12. precipitated murder and it justification in the eyes of the legal
system. The author discusses the control theory and the outrage
theory and explains their implementation with regards to the
judiciary system. This article provided a different perspective
on the topic of victim precipitated murder than the other
literature I had looked at. The main points focused on anger as
the cause of the victim precipitated homicide as opposed to
other circumstances. This article is a great reference for anyone
writing a paper related to how perspectives have changed in
regards to judicial rulings relevant provocation.
Van Wormer, K., (2007) Why so many murder-suicides?. USA
Today, 135(2742), 62-65.
This is a short article that appeared in USA Today. This source
basically reinforced a statement relating to suicide by cop, an
issue also presented by Foote. The article discusses murder-
suicides, victim precipitated murder and suicide bombers. This
source has some relevant citation to statistics, but as a whole is
deficient of any solid evidence relevant to the discussion of
victim precipitated murder.
