The Howling of the Wolves: Case Studies on Law Enforcement, Media, Academic and Public Misconceptions of Black Serial Killers Affecting Criminal Investigations and Public Safety
2023
Overview
Conventional law enforcement doctrine and wisdom, as propagated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the news media, Hollywood movies, TV shows, and academic research, state that the traditional profile of a serial killer universally focuses on finding a White male perpetrator. However, limited research into the pathology and activities of Black serial killers such as Samuel Little suggests that this conventional law enforcement wisdom and doctrine is both false as a narrative and investigative premise. Additional research is needed to explore such recent findings or identify them as possible “outlier,” This study focuses upon (a) the repercussions of institutional acceptance of the incorrect stereotype that serial killers are predominately White males; (b) that Black serial killers are under-estimated in American society; and (c) that there is a need for further scholarly research focused on Black serial killers to protect their potential victims and to develop more effective investigative methodologies to detect, investigate, and apprehend them for criminal prosecution. This study employs as research methodologies both Case Studies and Critical Discourse Analysis to illustrate topologies that distinguish between Black and White serial killers as well as their impact upon American society and potential victims. This topic is also essential to the public, news and entertainment media, academic research, and law enforcement agencies.
