  • Title: Understanding Crime Causation: Exploring Personal Views and Criminological Theories

    The writing assignment provides an opportunity for you to describe your own views on crime causation and apply the theories covered in this course to your views on crime causation. Through this assignment, I want you to develop your personal explanation of crime causation and consider why your thoughts on crime causation are the way they are (i.e., why you feel the way you do about the causes of crime). Make sure to address the following in your essay and incorporate material from the course:
    Your general thoughts on why people break the law.
    One or more criminological theories that relate to your general thoughts on why people break the law. Make sure to connect the specific tenants of the theory to your thoughts about why people engage in crime. This section should be the longest section of your essay.
    Exceptions or situations that run contrary to your explanation of crime causation. For example, which types of offenses or offenders do not support your position? Crime policies or programs discussed in class that align with your perspective.
    Is it really possible to reduce crime in the United States?
