  6. Criminal Life: The Bombing • He and his brother, Tamerlan, were accused of committing the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, 2013 • During the 2013 Boston Marathon when the runners crossed the finish line, bombs were detonated killing 3 people and injuring as many as 264 others

  7. Criminal Life: The Manhunt • After the bombing he and his brother were accused of murdering MIT Police Officer, Sean Collier, on the MIT campus • They were also accused of carjacking an SUV and robbing the owner, a 26-year old Chinese immigrant • They used the antitheft tracking device in the SUV to locate the brothers

  8. Criminal Life: The Manhunt (cont.) • Police found the brothers driving the stolen SUV early the morning of April 19 • They engaged in a gun-fight with the police • Dzhokhar was wounded and escaped using the SUV when he allegedly ran over his brother who was being arrested • After speeding off, he ditched the car and fled on foot until thousands of police officers conducted a manhunt and found him in a boat in a nearby yard

  9. Criminal Life: Charges • On April 22, he was charged with: • Using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death • Malicious destruction of property resulting in death • Both charges in connection with the bombings

  10. Legal Terms • Conspiring: • An agreement between two or more persons to engage jointly in a criminal act • Weapon of Mass Destruction: • any destructive or explosive device designed or intended to cause death or serious injury • Malicious Destruction: • Intentional or deliberate harming of personal or public property

  13. “When you attack one Muslim, you attack all Muslims.” -DzhokharTsarnaev • In the note he had written in the boat while evading the police

  14. Nickname: The Boston Bomber • Cultural references: • He made the cover of Rolling stone magazine

  15. Sociological Theory of Deviance • I believe the Conflict Theory is the most applicable to Dzhokhar • I chose the conflict theory because it emphasizes the struggle for other cultures to gain equality and maintain fundamental practices • This theory explains the lack of acceptance for the values of other cultures demonstrated by the majority population

  16. Sociological Theory of Deviance • Using the perspective of the conflict theory it shows that minority cultures when exposed to the values of majority have trouble exposing the majority to the values of their own. This causes different categories or classifications of people within society. When people are classified against each other, conflict usually breaks out while each group strives for superiority over one another’s culture.
