Summary:In lieu of a final exam, you will submit a short paper at the end of the semester that compares any two criminological theories and applies them to a specific, documented example that you select. Your example should describe a specific crime that was committed by one or more individuals. In the past, students have used examples of crimes allegedly committed by everyone from Al Capone to Heidi Fleiss (the ‘Hollywood Madam’) to Julian Assange, as well as less famous crimes described in local newspapers or on ‘true crime’ TV shows such as ’48 Hours’ and ‘Dateline.’ NOTE: Crimes that have been described but for which there are no alleged perpetrators, while interesting, are probably not suitable for this assignment, as most criminological theories explain crimes based on the supposed characteristics of the individual perpetrator and/or their environment. 1000-1500 words (approx. 4-6 pp); see syllabus for formatting guidelines.Example must be from a documented source outside the textbook and properly referenced (APA preferred). Failure to include a documented contemporary example is the single biggest reason students in the past have failed this paper. Sources for examples include but aren’t limited to: any newspaper (local, national, foreign), crime blogs, law enforcement websites, documentary films, TV ‘true crime’ series, etc. Even an example from a fictional book, movie, or TV show can be used…provided that it is properly cited in your reference list.Components:o Brief description of your documented example o Apply theory #1o Apply theory #2o Compare the explanations of theory #1 and #2o Reference list1000-1500 words (approx. 4-6 pp); see syllabus for formatting guidelines.
