Create a PowerPoint presentation with notes, where you (1) identify the theory, (2) showcase research to support that the theory is effective, and (3) briefly discuss criticisms of the theory. As a reminder, there is no one theory to explain all crimes; hence, all theories will have criticisms.

To prepare for the PowerPoint presentation, follow the instructions below.

Select one criminological theory learned in this course. The theory must be created or developed later than 1960 (e.g., the social bond theory, which Travis Hirschi developed in 1969).

What crime data evidence supports your examination (misdemeanors and felonies)?

Locate at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed articles that support the theory and two scholarly, peer-reviewed articles that are critical of the theory.

Utilize at least five sources to support your presentation, one of which can be your textbook.

Your presentation should include the slides shown below.

Title: This slide should be in APA format.

Introduction: This section should identify the selected theory and why it was selected.

Summary of Theory: This section should provide a background of the theory, including its origins, and identify how the theory explains why crime does or does not occur.

Content Analysis: This section should discuss the research identified to support what this theory does and its influence on the major components of the criminal justice system.

Criticism: This section should identify and explain at least two criticisms of the theory.

Summary: This section should be a summary of the information discussed.

References: This slide should be in APA format.

The completed presentation must have notes for all slides. Additionally, the presentation should be at least 10 slides, not counting the title and reference slides. At least five sources should be used. All sources must be scholarly, peer-reviewed, and no more than 5 years old.

As a reminder, PowerPoint presentations should have limited text on the slides. Instead, the notes feature in PowerPoint must be used to include any relevant information about the subject. In addition, the font must be appropriate, and the background should not distract from the content. Finally, any graphics added should be relevant to the content presented and be cited and referenced in APA format.
