Alphanumeric outline

You must use the required paper headings as the main headings in your outline: Criminal Event, Etiology, Prediction and Prevention, and CJ Responses. The subheadings will have detail about the information included under the main headings.

Before you submit the outline, remember that it should provide sufficient detail as well as the initial references you have found to this point so that the instructor can provide feedback concerning the content and use of references in your paper.

You should also include a reference page with the sources you have discovered so far in your research.

Final Assignment details to help with Outline

Pick two specific theories (Strain Theory and Social Control Theory) and use these theories to explain a real-world criminal event or activity.

Explain the issues using each theory as follows:

1. Why the specific criminal event or activity that you chose occurred;

2. How each theory can be used to predict and prevent the likelihood of a similar crime occurring in the future, both nationally and globally; and

3. Suggestions that each theory would probably give on how to process this offender (or group of offenders) through the criminal justice system (i.e., death penalty, life sentence, community supervision, treatment orientation or punitive orientation, and so on).

PART 2 WILL BE THE BELOW INFORMATION

The Introduction Section should be 3-5 pages. The Main Body should consist of four specific sections. The first section should be entitled "Criminal Event," which will explain the details of the specific criminal event.

The second section, "Etiology," will explain the two theories chosen to explain the criminal behavior, including the history and current state of each theory.

The third the second section should be entitled "Prediction and Prevention," which will apply the two theories to the criminal event, demonstrating how each theory explains that crime.

Lastly, the fourth and the final section should be entitled "Recommended Criminal Justice Responses," which discusses the policies, programs, and laws created to address this type of criminality in the United States. Each of these sections should be from 3-5 pages in length.

This should then be followed by the Conclusion section of roughly 2-3 pages that clearly refines the connection between your chosen theories and your chosen criminal event or criminal activity.
