Louisiana State University Violent Crime Discussion
Question Description
I’m working on a sociology multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
The media often profiles individuals who have been charged with or who engaged in violent crimes. Such profiles seek to identify characteristics that can be used to identify individuals with a high probability of engaging in similar activities. The key finding of the United States Secret Service’s research into school violence is that “There is no accurate or useful profile of students who engaged in targeted violence.” Think about this quote and what you have read about the shooters profiled by Langman so far. What were the areas of greatest similarity among shooters? What were the key differences among shooters? Is it really possible for us to develop a profile of potential shooters? If so, what type of ethical concerns would we need to engage with while applying such a profile?
