Classical School of Criminology and Present Day
Crime and Crime Prevention. Due by Day 7. The
primary argument of the classical school of
criminology is that offenders commit crimes due
2. to rational choice. As discussed in the Classical
School of Criminology video, rational choice theory
focuses on offenders weighing the risks versus
rewards prior to engaging in a criminal act
(Dorsey, 2013). If the risks are low and the
rewards are high, the offender will engage in the
crime. However, if the risks are high and the
reward is low, the offender generally will not
engage in the offense. In addition to the
aforementioned, the classical school of
criminology also contends that punishment is the
primary way to deter crime. In order for
punishment to be effective, it must be swift,
severe, and certain. In your paper,
Explain how crime can be prevented as it relates to
the beliefs of the classical school of criminology;
Assess the major components of the classical
school of crime causation;
Discuss specific and general deterrence as it
relates to the presence of punishment and the
challenges to create deterrence in today’s society;
and
Discuss how risk can be increased and rewards
decreased as it relates to conventional crimes and
the rational choice theory.

the relationship between the perceived risk of
punishment and criminal behavior (Wright, Caspi,

the article, discuss the findings of the study and
why you think the research reached the results. In

Victim’s Roles in Victimization. Due by Day 7. In
Chapter 3 of the text, Siegel discusses victims and

In your paper,
Explain how victims can protect themselves from
being victimized.
Discuss when and where the rates of victimization
are the highest.
Select one of the four theories of victimization
discussed in the Siegel (2015) text, and analyze

The concept of critical criminology has been
prevalent among criminologists for decades. A
derivative of Marxist Theory, the primary focus of
conflict criminology is the disparities linked to
economic, social, and political affiliation. Chapter 8

Michelson video discuss social conflict and critical
criminology (Siegel, 2015, & Michelson, 2011).
In your paper

criminology and sociology using appropriate

Controlling Violent Crime. Due by Day 7. There are
many factors that can be associated with the cause
of violent crime. Research suggests that some of
the factors include severe mental health
abnormalities, children who are consistently
exposed to violence at home, firearm availability,
the independent subculture of violence, and the
socialization process, just to name a few. In
addition, it has also been found that when
homicide occurs, there is often a preexisting
relationship that is present. Some relationships
include a romantic relationship, narcotic
seller/narcotic buyer relationship, or a gang
18. rivalry. Despite the understanding of the
aforementioned, criminal justice professionals
still have difficulty controlling homicides. Review
Chapter 10 in your primary text, and watch the
video Murder Capital USA Ganglands of Chicago,
which discusses the high murder rates in Chicago
and focuses on contributing factors (Siegel, 2015;
Danzo1212, 2013). In your paper,
• Critique a criminological theory that explains
why homicides occur.
• Discuss ways to decrease and control homicides
in the United States.
• Discuss some of the factors of focus of the
various sociological schools of crime causation
that explain why murder occurs.

Social Bonding Theory. Due by Day 7. Travis
Hirshi’s social bonding theory is a form of social
control. While other criminological theories
attempt to explain why crime occurs, social
bonding theory explains why people conform to
the norms of society and away from deviant and
antisocial behaviors. Many argue the threat of
punishment as being a deterrent. However, Travis
Hirshi, in his contentions, believes there are other
22. factors beyond punishment that are responsible
for conformity. Review Chapter 7 in your primary
text, and watch The Social Bond Theory video,
which provides examples of the four elements of
the theory (Siegel, 2015; Hiemstra, 2013). In your
paper,
• Explain Travis Hirschi’s social bonding theory.
• Describe the four elements of social bonding
theory.
• Discuss how the social bonding theory affects
conformity in America.
• Discuss the relationship between social bonding
theory and the various sociological schools of
crime causation.

Criminological Research Paper
Offenders commit crimes for different reasons.
Criminological theories attempt to explain why
crimes occur. For the Final Paper, you will
evaluate the theoretical study of crime and crime

why the offense occurred.
26. You must discuss both the offender and the crime
in detail. Additionally, you must research the
criminological theory to be used; discuss the
theorist responsible for coining the theory, the
year it was created, the premise of the theory, and
how it is applicable.
Below is a list of offenders that were reported in
the media as a result of the heinous nature of their
offense. Select one of the offenders, and research
their crime. You may only use scholarly sources
