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; andDiscuss how risk can be increased and rewards decreased as it relates to conventional crimes and the rational choice theory.

CRJ 512 Week 2 Assignment   –   Victim’s Role in Victimization Victim’s Role in Victimization In Chapter 3 of the text, Siegel discusses victims and victimization. Victimization theories argue that victims are sometimes responsible for their own victimization. There are three primary theories of victimization that attempt to explain the aforementioned. The theories focus on victimization as it relates to conventional crimes. 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 how the ideas contained therein can be applied to the study of victimization.

CRJ 512 Week 3 Conflict Criminology and Sociology Conflict Criminology and Sociology 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.  

2. Chapter 8 in your primary textbook and the   MSU Professor Michalsenvideo discuss social conflict and critical criminology (Siegel, 2015, & Michalsen, 2011). In your paper Explain how conflict theory is related to both criminology and sociology using appropriate terminology. Discuss how politics play a role in conflict theory using appropriate terminology. Discuss how politics influence crime rates of the lower class using appropriate terminology. Evaluate various sociological schools of crime causation using appropriate terminology.

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 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 videoMurder 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. Your paper must Be three to five double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in theAshford Writing Center.

3. Social Bonding Theory 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 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.

CRJ 512 Week 6 Final Paper – Criminological Research Paper       o o o o o    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 causation by examining the crime of an offender and applying a criminological theory discussing why the offense occurred. 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 when citing in your paper. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source. First, select an offender from the list of offenders.
