In this assignment, you will apply the theories you have studied to a particular crime. Conduct an Internet search and find an article about a crime in which you are interested. Crime stories are in the news every day, so this should be easy to accomplish.
For instance, if you chose a violent crime, such as rape, you would analyze how useful each of three theories (one from each category) is in explaining why the offender in the case you chose committed the crime.
The Crime (Describe the characteristics of the criminal incident you found, then describe what we know about this type of crime more generally. . . prevalence, trends, costs, etc.)
Theory I (Describe the main features of the chosen theory, then discuss how useful a specific theory from this category is in explaining the crime.)
Theory II (Describe the main features of the chosen theory, then discuss how useful a specific theory from this category is in explaining the crime.)
Theory III (Describe the main features of the chosen theory, then discuss how useful a specific theory from this category is in explaining the crime.)
