What Type of Offender?

The article you read this week describes (as well as shows video of) a hate crime incident from Chicago. The hate crime highlights a disturbing trend in the United States. According to the FBI, hate crimes have increased by 17 percent between 2016 and 2017″ (Sage, 2019). According to the New York Times “Anti-Asian hate crimes increased 150% in 2020” (Yam, 2021).

After reading the article, write more about the dynamics of this crime. It has been said that, “Hate crimes do not simply happen; they are motivated by a variety of feelings, beliefs, and emotions” (Wallace & Roberson, 2015, p. 199). How would you categorize the offenders who committed this horrible act? You should read the “Typology of Offender Motivation” (starting on page 551 in the textbook) and explain which of Levin, McDevitt, and Bennett’s categories (Table 14-1 on page 552) of offenders these suspects were in. Write about how we identify this as a hate crime (based on what you read in the chapter), and which typology of offender these suspects would fit into. Why do you believe this?

You will show that you have weighed the evidence critically, and provide me with some of your opinions and ideas. While you can do this as you write, generally it is more effective at the end of your paper. Your conclusion should also summarize the main points of your paper.

You must cite your sources in your slides so your audience can see and research more if they want to. Also, note that your bullets/short phrases are more important than your pictures and illustrations. Although these are also important, they are used to embellish and to supplement your written information only your pictures or illustrations are NOT the main attraction but they help in PowerPoint presentations.

Note that it is expected that you would provide enough content and discussion of the major issues that portray your knowledge and understanding of the major issues; please note that this assignment is expected to be AT LEAST TEN POWERPOINT SLIDES (not including your cover slide and your list of references). Your last slide should contain your list of references while your opening slide should be your cover slide.

Against the background of the foregoing, student must use in-text citations to back up your major assertions so readers may not think that you are speculating or guessing. Remember that a list of references always go hand in hand with in-text citations (your last slide).
