I have advocated on this forum the screening of passengers about to board planes by their fellow passengers. Have all passengers assemble at the gate 30 minutes before fight time with name tags on and ask them to mingle and talk to each other for 5 minutes. Passengers could then write down the name of any other passenger they think needs more thorough screening.
Much more effective and efficient than the stupid x-rays and body groping they now do.
I can pretty much guarantee the underwear bomber and shoe bomber would have been identified by this method, as well as the 9-11 teams. People have a sixth sense when people are up to no good - by there behavior even more than their appearance in a photograph.
Yes!
And make the process into TV show. Would beat out “Survivor” :).
Well now. Does this mean this study can be used as a defense if a person is arrested for killing someone, as in, “he needed killin’.
“...and controlled for attractiveness and display of facial emotion.”
This is a pity, because they could have learned much comparing ugly criminals and non-criminals. Often the assumption with ugly people is that ugliness is associated with crime, and even if not currently criminal, with *former* crime.
Likewise, facial expressions of emotion tell a lot as well.
There is also a problem with evaluating criminals, in that their countenance might have been altered because of being in prison.
That is excellent wisdom to explain the mentality of the left!
Everyone, please read post #9 if you skipped it. It reminds me of the great philosopher Rush when he is at his best.
I agree! bttt
In this case, no. It was used to avoid “confounding” factors in analysis, like pre-existing stereotypes based on race and gender.
Unfortunately evil people are often drawn to good people - - to take advantage of them. I'm sure if this study were reversed - and criminals were asked to identify the people they consider to be a 'soft touch' or an 'easy mark' that they would be equally up to the task...
Uh oh...crappy results alert. Wait for more studies on this before jumping on this one.
no black lineups?......now that would be more informative I think....
This the first time I have said ttiwwp and I wasn’t referring to babes.
Criminal types are also prolific breeders of future criminals. Sterilization should be condition of parole and early release of violent criminals.
Look for the predator in the eyes.
Good observation.
IMO.. individually, to some degree or another,they have NO LOVE, RESPECT, or CIVILITY capacities within their soul.
Those eyes also are completely devoid of compassion or remorse or conscience.
