Based on the theories you have learned ( https://www.criminology.com/understanding-criminology-theories/ ), write a two-page, double spaced paper on the case located below. This assignment is to build upon the theories that you have learned in Module 1. It will help you evaluate your knowledge of the concepts you are expected to have learned at the end of this module. It will help you describe theories and apply them to real life situations.
Your paper should discuss the elements of crime and recognize the origins of criminal behavior depicted in this case using two different views of crime and two different explanations of crime in the context of different criminological schools of thought. Be sure to review the grading rubric before starting this assignment. The contents of the paper should be tailored to fulfilling the requirements set out in the grading rubric.
Writing Tips: Below are some tips and a resource that will help all of you on the writing assignments.
1. Use the grading rubric as an outline guide for your paper.
2. The main purpose of the writing assignments is to demonstrate that you understand the theories well enough to apply them to real world situations. For the "Explanation of the crime from two different perspectives purported by two different theories of crime" part of the grading rubric, I would suggest that you choose two different theories that you have read about and are applicable to the article that is given for the respective writing assignment. Next, I would advise using the following format for each theory: state the theory, provide a definition, and apply the tenets of the theory to the case/situation in the article. Follow the same format for the second theory that you choose.
3. To properly organize the paper, I would use headings and subheadings that have content that is proportionate to the points awarded in the grading rubric. For example, if something is worth a total of 3 points out of 7, it should have the most content and the concepts should be thoroughly articulated in that section. Also, remember to cite your sources and use proper APA format for the reference page and in-text citations. Please see link for guidance on proper APA format: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_style_introduction.html (Links to an external site.)

Armed robbers hijacked a UPS truck after a robbery in Coral Gables, leading police cars on a
harrowing chase up Interstate 75 that ended Thursday night in a dramatic and deadly shootout on a
busy street in Miramar.
The FBI on Thursday night acknowledged that four people were killed: the two robbers, a UPS
driver who was taken hostage and a bystander who was inside a car at the scene.
Family members have identified the UPS driver as Frank Ordonez, a father of two young girls.

An image captured by the Miami Herald showed someone dead behind the wheel of a dark-colored sedan, its windows covered up by authorities. In one bystander video that surfaced Thursday night online, the sedan appeared to have just turned right at the intersection, about 350 feet away from the UPS truck.
FBI Special Agent in Charge George Piro, the head of the Miami field office, offered his condolences to the “innocent victims,” but declined to say whether bullets fired by the robbers or the police killed them.

“It would be inappropriate to discuss that,” Piro said at a Thursday night press conference near the shooting scene in Miramar. “We have just begun to process the crime scene. It’s going to be a very complicated crime scene.”
The head of Miami-Dade’s police union said 11 officers from the department opened fire, only after the robbers “started firing first” at the final crime scene.
“It’s unfortunate that the bystanders were killed, but the bad guys put all this in motion,” said Steadman Stahl, the president of the Miami-Dade Police Benevolent Association. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the two innocent bystanders.”

The dramatic chase from Coral Gables to Miramar and the final firefight were broadcast live by TV
news helicopters.
Footage showed a terrifying scene at the peak of rush hour, as the UPS truck slowed to a stop on
Miramar Parkway near Flamingo Road in the midst of a cluster of stopped cars shortly after 5:30
p.m. News cameras zoomed in on the passenger side of the truck, and showed the small bursts of
light and smoke indicating gunfire.
Several flashes followed as a man’s leg became visible from the door, followed by another man
climbing over him, an arm over his head for protection amid the chaos.
Another view from the other side of the van showed cops rushing in. Soon, more than 20 officers
were descending on men lying next to the vehicle. Large smears of blood were visible on the
roadway as police, and soon paramedics, rushed in to help the wounded.
Avilio Rodriguez said he was driving his 9-year-old son home and was about two cars away from
the UPS truck when he saw more than a dozen officers — in bullet-proof vests —walking toward the
truck.
He told his son to “get down.” Then the shots started.

Road closures at shootout crime scene in Miramar will disrupt morning commute DECEMBER 05, 2019 6:34 PM
A vehicle that appears to be part of the crime scene where a UPS delivery truck, carjacked after a robbery in Coral Gables, was the center of a shootout amid traffic at Flamingo Road and Miramar Parkway, Dec. 5, 2019. CHARLES TRAINOR JR [email protected]
“There were so many police officers in that intersection at that time that there was nowhere for anybody to go. And it was fast,” Rodriguez said.
After the shooting, Rodriguez said he spoke with the woman who was driving the car in front of him.
“She told me that she did see the UPS driver as the truck was passing by her,” Rodriguez said. “She did make eye contact with him and she said that she saw him sitting on the steps, not facing towards the front but towards the back, and one of the guys had a gun to his head.”
Because of the carjacking, the FBI is leading the investigation. As in all police shooting cases, state prosecutors will also review whether officers broke any laws in using deadly force.
Police say the incident began at 4:17 p.m. in Coral Gables, when at least two men tried robbing Regent Jewelers at 386 Miracle Mile. They were buzzed in because they were posing as U.S. postal workers, a law-enforcement source said.

A law-enforcement source told the Herald that a robber fired into the floor and the bullet ricocheted, hitting a female employee of the store in the forehead. She survived with a minor wound.
As the men were fleeing, gunfire broke out between the robbers and the owner of the store. At least one bullet flew toward Coral Gables City Hall across the street.
Billy Urquia, the Coral Gables city clerk, was in his private office when he heard a gunshot, then a second, and then the sound of a bullet piercing his window.
“The bullet ricocheted off the wall and landed on the floor,” Urquia said Thursday night. “The last one I heard was the one that came in.”
Urquia said he hurried outside his office to find a city security guard already on the phone with police. He estimated the bullet missed him by two or three feet. A photo taken afterward shows the bullet hole looming over Urquia’s monitor, just below the window blinds. “No glass hit me,” Urquia said.
The UPS truck was carjacked soon afterward, although authorities didn’t say exactly where.
“The individuals abducted the driver of the truck as well as the truck itself,” Coral Gables Chief Edward Hudak said.
Police officers soon found the UPS truck, which
made its way up Florida’s Turnpike, then
Okeechobee Road, then onto Interstate 75 into
Broward County. The robbers shot at police
during the chase, the FBI said.
The truck exited in Pembroke Pines and weaved
its way through the streets — at one point
breaking through a traffic arm into the Century
Village community — all while followed by a long
stream of police cars.
When the truck finally stopped in traffic gridlock,
the robbers appeared to open fire on police. After
the shooting, paramedics rushed to treat the
injured men. At least one person was airlifted to a
trauma center.

clerk Billy Urquia on Thursday, Dec. 5, 2019, in the midst of an
attempted armed robbery of a jewelry store across the street.

Law-enforcement authorities in two counties were working Thursday night to figure out what happened. So was UPS, which is in the middle of the busy holiday gift-delivery season.
“We are deeply saddened to learn a UPS service provider was a victim of this senseless act of violence,” the company said in a statement. “ We extend our condolences to the family and friends of our employee and the other innocent victims involved in this incident. We appreciate law enforcement’s service and will cooperate with the authorities as they continue the investigation.”

Michelle Marchante contributed to this report.
