Explain VERY briefly the basic premise of each theory you chose and then, acting as if you were the author of the theory, explain how the theory might apply to your topic.

One primary goal of this class is to give students the knowledge and skills to critically analyze criminal justice policies, the theories behind the policies, and the consequences and/or benefits of such policies. Earlier this semester students researched a CJ policy. With a thorough understanding of the policy, and having applied theory throughout the semester, now is the time to pull together all that you’ve learned into one paper.For the final paper, students need to do the following:Step One: Briefly, in no more than two paragraphs, introduce the CJ policy that you are analyzing. This will be based on the literature review you did at the beginning of the semester.Step Two: After the policy has been briefly introduced, and using your previously written application of theory papers as a guide, analyze the policy using a minimum of four different theories from this class, representing at least three different broad categories (Choice, Trait, Structural, Social Process, Conflict or Life Course Theories).Explain VERY briefly the basic premise of each theory you chose and then, acting as if you were the author of the theory, explain how the theory might apply to your topic. “According to _____ theory, the use of _____ is justified b/c in doing _____ an offender will _______” Conversely, you might argue that according to a particular theory, what is happening is only making the situation worse and likely to have a negative result. Step Three: And finally, please wrap up your paper with a conclusion about your thoughts about the policy/intervention assigned. Is it supported by theory?At the end of the semester, students must use these papers, and their original literature review, to write a final paper that involves a thorough assessment/evaluation of their topic. Is this policy supported or rejected by the theories we learn about? Which theories support? Which theories reject? And what do you base your arguments upon??

In the report, in addition to an introduction and a conclusion, illustrate five arguments or theories from the book and also critique on each argument, i.e., whether you agree or disagree with each argument, and how you can or cannot apply that in practice.

Students are required to review the book “Random Walk Down Wall Street”. A written report is due on May 10 (midnight). In the report, in addition to an introduction and a conclusion, illustrate five arguments or theories from the book and also critique on each argument, i.e., whether you agree or disagree with each argument, and how you can or cannot apply that in practice. The “arguments” or “theories” could be big or small topics, whichever interests you the most. However, it is a good idea to cover topics from different chapters or sections of the book.

Based on the constitutional limitations addressed in chapter 1, is the law constitutional?

you learn that there are certain requirements that must be met in order for a criminal law to be constitutional. Any city recently enacted an ordinance prohibiting “all animals on school grounds.” Any person who violates the ordinance can be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor. ABC college has an onsite day care. Jane, who is a student at ABC college, uses the daycare for her son who is 2 years old. She brings her son’s stuffed animal to school. Jane is arrested and charged with violating the ordinance. She challenges the constitutionality of the ordinance.Based on the constitutional limitations addressed in chapter 1, is the law constitutional? What authority does any city have to pass this ordinance? Defend your position.The focus of the question is to think about the constitutional limitations not whether it is a good idea to restrict animals on school grounds or if the punishment is too strict.
