Write a paper revolved around crime causation. Specifically, you are expected to:

  1. Introduction (10 points): Choose a type of crime/deviance, such as violent crime, hate crime, white collar crime, deviance, antisocial behavior, juvenile delinquency, etc. Why do you want to examine this crime/deviance? Why is it important to know more about it?
  2. Literature Review (40 points): Review and summarize 3 to 6 academic journal articles (NOT websites, blogs, or news stories) that explain the causes of this type of crime/deviance.
  3. Elaboration (20 points): Compare and contrast how those journal articles are related to, or/and differentiated from, each other— that is, synthesize how they draw on similar / different theories, come to similar/different conclusions, etc.
  4. Causality (20 points): Based on your summary and synthesis of the journal articles, answer this question: what exactly causes people to commit this type of crime/deviance?
  5. Policy Implications (10 points): Based on your causal argument, what can be done to reduce or stop this type of crime/deviance?
