Racial Profiling: Fact or Fallacy?
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page overview of the common misperception that racial profiling accounts for the disproportionate representation that some minorities have in our criminal justice system. Noting that this fallacy is often stretched to imply concern over implications in the post-September 11 environment, the author emphasizes that the fact is that a particular culture’s propensity for crime, not their race is what lands them in our nation’s prisons.

Racist Crime: Victim Experiences Relating to Retaliations for the September 11, 2000 World Trade Center and Pentagon Disasters
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page overview of the concept of racist crime. Notes the events which are unfolding in our country today are essentially the same as those which have been targeted against one race or ethnicity or another throughout American history. The criminal activity which is all too often associated with such mindset has been recently termed hate crimes. Although there are many examples of such crimes, there is no better example of the deplorability of these crimes than the condemnable actions which too many in our populace are taking today against Arabic peoples in a form of societal retaliation for the September 11 World Trade Center and Pentagon disasters. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Rational Choice Theory From Marxist Perspective
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. The aspect of personal responsibility has long represented a challenge of application where crime theorists are concerned. The extent to which crime theories reflect a montage of indicators for criminal activity is both grand and far-reaching; that rational crime theory stands alone in its quest to illustrate how personal responsibility plays an integral role when people engage in criminal behavior speaks to an extension of the Marxist perspective. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
