The typical felony offender is likely to be a young minority male. In addition, felony offenders are generally unemployed and undereducated; they are disproportionately members of the lower class (i.e., poor). Many also come from broken homes. Relative to typical felony offenders, workgroup members tend to be white, older, more educated, and more affluent. The differences between the two groups may lead to unfair prejudices or stereotypes about defendants.
