(PhysOrg.com) -- A woman walking her dog encounters a man. She has an instant, visceral reaction to him and screams. The next day, she sees his picture in the newspaper; he has been charged with rape.
This anecdote prompted three Cornell researchers to reopen a "long and sordid" history of research and debate about whether we can determine who is a criminal by looking at his face.
Their finding: We can. But the participants could not distinguish between violent and nonviolent offenders, and women subjects had more trouble correctly identifying rapists than men.
Interestingly,
The researchers also found that after the experiment, subjects who said they "knew" which photos were police mug shots were worse at picking criminals than those who said they didn't know the photos' origin.
Preconceptions messing up their judgement?
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
I'm so glad this stuff never happens in *MY* neighborhood.
Her life will be forever changed. I can't imagine how powerless she felt. Better headlines would have been "Woman shoots kidnapper with pink Smith & Wesson".

And just in case you're depending on the kind and generous employees at DIA to help you out...I suggest a little "combo kill action" training in the near future.
Police: Woman Sexually Assaulted By Ex-Marine At DIA
During the attack, she said two airport janitors passed by, and said nothing.
"Another employee walked by, a female, and she looked and she walked away and kept walking. I was just so upset that I couldn't focus on what was going on. I just kept getting my head thrown down," she said.
