Overview
In this assignment, you will choose and define a crime, describe the type and classification of offender who commits this type of crime, and describe how aspects of sociology can be applied to the offender and the crime committed.
Prompt
In Module One, you learned about types of crime, as well as types and classifications of offenders. In this module, you learned how aspects of sociology can be used to understand crime and explain what factors may lead to crime. You will now apply this knowledge to describe a crime, the offender, and how sociology may relate to the crime being committed. This application of knowledge will help you prepare for the submission of Project One in Module Five.
First, review the Project One Guidelines and Rubric.
Choose one crime from this list of crimes that are present in the Project One scenario:
Organized crime
Motor vehicle theft
Selling/distributing narcotics
Selling illegal weapons
Murder
Theft
Dog fighting
Burglary
Illegal gambling
Identify the crime type for the crime you chose.
What is the crime type as defined by the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS)?
Describe which classifications of offenders might commit this type of crime.
Which classification would the offender most likely match?
Why (or how) might more than one classification be a possibility?
Describe how this type of crime may be explained by aspects of sociology.
How might this type of crime be connected to sociological theories (e.g. routine activity theory, social disorganization theory, or structural strain theory)?
Specifically, the following rubric criteria must be addressed:
Identify the type of crime.
Describe which classifications of offenders might commit this type of crime.
Describe how this type of crime may be explained by aspects of sociology.

Each question will require students to go back to the reading(s)
covering the topic of the question and apply this material in order to
earn full credit. The suggested length of answer per question is about
two to three pages, or about 750 – 1000 words. Questions should be
answered fully, including each specific part of the question, and the
responses to the essay questions should be informed by the readings.
What I am assessing with these essay exams is (a) your understanding of
the course material, (b) your ability to synthesize multiple pieces of
information related to a topic into a cohesive answer, and (c) your
application of the course material. You must cite your work,
your response is not based on your opinion, but, on empirical
literature (assigned readings and publications listed on Canvas) to
validate your position.
Please answer the following question(s) provided below:
Based on your previous reading(s): Review and discuss
(a) trends in incarceration and crime rates since the 1970s and (b) the
empirical literature that examines whether changes in incarceration
rates led to a reduction in crime rates during that time period, what
has currently changed within the criminal justice system? Does the
empirical evidence support the assertion that increasing the use of
incarceration reduces crime/recidivism? Please discuss issues of
reliability and validity with regard to the empirical studies (assigned
readings) you reviewed.
Utilizing your previous readings, there has been a longstanding
concern with incarceration and who is most likely to be incarcerated.
Considerable attention has been devoted to the issue of race
differentials and poverty at several phases of the criminal justice
process. Evaluate the problem(s) in the American Criminal Justice System
(all components: Police, Courts and Corrections). Write an essay which
clearly defines the issues, review the empirical literature (assigned readings), and critiques that literature.
