Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The following research study explored the patterns correlating to mothers that participate in the crime of poisoning their children. The data set investigated cases in which the mother was found culpable for participating in the poisoning of their children over the last 50 years throughout the United States; a total of 100 cases were gathered and examined. The objective for study was for the researchers to assess the data from a qualitative lens to ascertain perpetration patterns and plausible typologies that subsist amongst this offender population. The research design utilized to evaluate the cases included a data content analysis for the purpose of identifying perpetration patterns and victimization patterns of criminality. The data collected provided an innovative exploration of profiling and behavioral analysis patterns to employ for the establishment of baseline offender typologies and classifications of injurious behaviors alike. Keywords: Poison, maternal, perpetration, victimization, criminality, profiling, typologies, motive, filicide, suicide.
