Instructions:
Choose one out of two articles that you think is the easiest one and have enough data to do this assignment (I will upload the articles), analyze the news article based on Psychological Theories.
You need to apply the principles of Psychological Theories by explaining WHAT the crime was (Identifies the crime as detailed in the news article), WHY the crime occurred (its causes) and HOW it should be dealt with by the criminal justice system according to the theory.
You need to show a sound understanding through effective application of the psychological theory to the causes of the crime. You have to shows clear understanding of the relationship between psychological theory and practice. You also need to shows a sound understanding through effective application of the nominated theory to the criminal justice response to the crime and also shows clear understanding of the relationship between theory and practice.
P.S: I’m strongly suggesting you to get Bernard, T., Snipes, J. and Gerould, A. (2010). Vold’s Theoretical Criminology (6th ed.) Oxford: Oxford Uni Press as the main source to do this assignment.
