Criminal Psychologist have to consider profiling from a racial content. Over the years, federal and state prisons in the United States held 475,900 inmates who were black serving long sentences and committed minor crimes such as petty theft, disorderly conduct and vandalism. Then 436,500 who were white, serving smaller sentences for major crimes. The stereotyping of Blacks as the “criminal predator”, which is used as a substitute for “young Black male.” This common stereotype has incorrectly served as a abstruse reasoning for the unofficial policy and practice of racial profiling by criminal justice practitioners. Many psychologist look over this stereotype and look over the cultural, environmental and traditional concepts of their race plays a big part in within peoples lives. They use this process to evaluate these crimes. There are many measures Criminal psychologist have to look over during these investigations, while overlooking the law.
