Abstract

With a significant change in sample size, this article attempted to replicate the study of Corley, Smith, and Damphousse’s “The Changing Face of American Terrorism”, in which the authors talked about profiling of terrorists using data that includes all indicted individuals for their participation in officially designated terrorist activities, but, ignoring whether a person was acquitted or convicted at the end of the trial. Therefore, this study reexamines the sociodemographics of terrorists in the United States using a smaller but more accurate sample than the previous research has used. This study took only the individuals who were convicted, pleaded guilty, and/or plead guilty to a lesser charge as a result of their indictment, and ran the analysis using a sample with 275 cases at the cost of losing one-third of 391 cases in the dataset. Besides, this study discusses the fallacy of labeling the individuals who are acquitted at the end of their trials. Despite this fact, this study revealed similar results and without any important difference from the previous terrorist profiling research of 2005.

Özet

Bu makale, Corley, Smith ve Damphousse’ın 2005 yılında yaptıkları “Amerikan Terörizminin Değişen Yüzü” adlı terörist profili çalışmalarını daha küçük ancak daha güvenilir bir örneklem kullanarak yeniden ele almaktadır. Sözkonusu profil çalışmasında terör suçundan yargılananların tamamını kapsayan ancak yargılama sonucunda kişinin beraat etmesini ya da hüküm giymesini göz ardı eden bir örneklem kullanılmıştır. Dolayısıyla, 391 kişiden oluşan veri setinin yaklaşık olarak üçte bir oranında küçülmesi ve 275 kişiye düşmesi pahasına, sadece yargılama sonucunda hüküm giyen ve suçluluğu kesinleşen kişilerin örnekleme dâhil edildiği bu çalışma ile Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’ndeki teröristlerin sosyo-demografileri yeniden incelenmiştir. Ayrıca, bu çalışmada yargılama sonucunda beraat eden kişileri terörist olarak etiketlemenin de doğru olmadığı hususu tartışılmaktadır. Ancak bu çalışma sonunda ortaya çıkan terörist profili ile 2005 yılında yapılan çalışmanın sonuçları birbirine benzemekte ve önemli bir farklılık arzetmemektedir.
