You will select a recent crime article and apply a maximum of two criminology theories to the crime. The crime you choose to discuss should be no more than 2 years old. The article you choose should have sufficient information for you to make proper assumptions related to the theory(ies) you choose.
You are only required to apply one theory, but if you feel another applies, you can go ahead and apply that second one as well. Whether or not I agree with the theory you have chosen does not matter. What matters is how you DEFEND your position. If you provide a compelling argument for why and how that theory is applicable, then you have completed your assignment. Basically, I am looking to gauge whether or not you “get it.” If you can explain the theory to me and apply it, then you will have demonstrated to me that you understand the theory.
Your paper should include the following:
• Provide a definition of the theory. This means you must explain what the theory is, including the person who came up with the theory, what group the theory was aimed at, and the basic assumptions and tenets of the theory.
• Explain how this theory applies to the crime. You should provide examples.
• Your paper should be a well-written college level essay. That means you should cite where appropriate and use proper grammar.
• DO NOT A WRITE A PAPER WHERE ALL YOU DO IS SUMMARIZE THE ARTICLE. This is a major mistake and will affect your grade.
