Choose a type (NOT A CASE) of crime (eg. Violent crime, property crime, white collar crime, drug crime,
and so on), and then select a specific criminological theory covered in this course (eg. Social
disorganization theory, social control theory, and etc.) that can provide the best explanation of the crime
you chose. Do research about it from various sources (a minimum of 7 references). DO NOT summarize
the textbook/class notes. Describe the type of crime you chose (in terms of general characteristics of the
crime, its seriousness, prevalence/statistics, societal impact, and so on), and explain the theory you
selected in detail by providing such information as important concepts, propositions, causal process, and
so on. Make a strong connection between the crime and the theory. Based on the theory, develop and
describe your own policy/program to control the crime. Describe your policy in detail.
