SOCW 6135 Criminal Behavior Final Project Guidelines .docx
1. SOCW 6135: Criminal Behavior
Final Project Guidelines
For your Final Project, you will examine three case scenarios
from the e-book
provided for this course, in which each case scenario represents
a different type
of offender (i.e., mentally disordered offender, sex offender,
violent offender,
family violence offender, female offender, white-collar
criminal, cyber criminal, or
terrorist). You will apply a specific theoretical approach to the
criminal behaviors
displayed in each case. You also will analyze the degree to
which developmental
risk factors and correlates of criminal behavior influence the
criminal behavior
that the offender exhibits. Finally, you will evaluate whether or
not the offender in
each case scenario is a criminal.
Note: Although assessment is an integral step in the tasks you
complete in this
Final Project, for the purposes of this course and Final Project,
you will not
assess the offenders in the case scenarios you select.
2. Your Final Project shall be presented as follows:
• A 10- to 12-page (not including references, title page, or
abstract),
double-spaced, APA-formatted paper that is submitted to the
Week 10
Assignment Turnitin link.
The Final Project must include the following:
• A minimum of seven references (in addition to any course
readings that
you may wish to reference). Be aware that user-created websites
such as
Wikipedia will not be accepted as scholarly references. (Please
consult
the Walden University Library's instructions for evaluating
research
resources, which includes a link to criteria for evaluating
resources.)
• A brief description of each of the three case scenarios you
selected
• A description of each of the criminal behaviors exhibited by
the offender in
each case scenario
• An analysis of how you might apply a specific biological,
psychological, or
sociological theory or approach to understanding and explaining
each of
5. will be presented with
information relevant to Smart Devices. Then, you will be asked
to answer some questions
about it. Your responses will be kept completely confidential.
The study should take you
around 9 MINUTES to complete. Your participation in this
research is voluntary. You have
the right to withdraw at any point during the study. The
