Özet (Çeviri)
This paper analyzes the experts' profiling predictions, between Oct. 2 (when the first shooting occurred) and Oct. 24 (when the perpetrators were arrested), 2002, in three newspapers: The Washington Post, The New York Times, and the Baltimore Sun, regarding the Washington, DC, area serial sniper case and the predictions' effect on the police investigation and the public reaction to the shootings. The aim of this paper is to reveal how successful the experts' profiling predictions were in the Washington, DC, area serial sniper case. In this paper, the predictions are analyzed in two categories: predictions regarding the motive and predictions on the snipers' identity. Predictions on whether the shootings were terrorism and predictions on whether there was a connection between the shootings and Michaels stores are analyzed in terms of the motive of the shootings. Predictions on whether the sniper(s) had a military background, predictions on whether the sniper(s) had an accompUce(s), and predictions on the racial background of the sniper(s) are also analyzed. In order to understand the Washington, DC, area serial sniper case, the definition of serial murder and its distinction from mass murder and spree killing is explained. Typology and causation of serial murder is also studied. Psychological profiling in serial murder cases is explained and its effect on Washington, DC, area serial sniper case is noted in this paper. The reliability of the three newspapers, the trend of the predictions in the three weeks' period, and which newspaper gave more attention to which issue, are also analyzed. According to the findings of this paper the profiling predictions regarding the Washington, DC, area serial sniper case were not fhiitful in terms of police investigation because they not only misled the police but also increased the anxiety and fear in the general public. The most successful predictions were made on whether the motive of the sniper shootings was terrorism: 54% of the experts predicted there was no motive of terrorism. On the other hand, only 28% of the experts predicted the sniper had an accomphce, while none of them predicted the snipers were black. There were also equally divided rates regarding whether the sniper had a military background or sniper training: 45% of experts predicted the sniper was a professional while another 45% espoused the view that anyone with a httle shooting training could have committed the sniper shootings.
