As a criminology expert, you have been asked by a local police department to help profile one of the aforementioned crimes. First, research the topic on your own and write a one-two paragraph summary of the key factors about this crime, including a definition of that type of crime (cite credible sources here).
Second, select ONE criminological theory that can explain this type of crime (here you should refer back to the theories you learned about in CJ 404). Some options that may be applicable include: anomie/strain (Agnew), self-control (Gottfredson & Hirschi), routine activities (Cohen & Felson), social bond (Hirschi), or differential association/social learning (Sutherland or Akers).
Third, describe the chosen theory in detail. This means you will need to define ALL of the key concepts and/or propositions of the theory (as best in your own words), and describe how the theory “works.”
Again, use credible theory sources when describing the theory. Last, apply the theory as a way to explain the crime that you selected. That is, apply each of the key concepts or propositions and provide relevant examples.
