examination of why crime occurs and how you would go about preventing crime.
***The Topic***
In criminology, examining why people commit crime is very important in the ongoing debate of how crime
should be handled and prevented. You are required to submit a topic related to the examination of why crime
occurs and how you would go about preventing crime. Your topic, along with a minimum of 3 academic
sources, must be submitted to the dropbox which will be reviewed and approved.
In addressing the topic you will need to select one theory that is covered in the book. With that theory, you
will need to apply it to at least one pers
onal crime and one property crime. In doing so be sure to address
why the crime occurs according to the theory and how the crime can be prevented according to the theory.
You will also want to provide a brief history of the theory and the utility of the theory today.
