Choose a theory that you believe best explains the problem. (ex: Social Control Theory, Differential Association Theory, Strain Theory)
Lastly, you have learned all semester that theory drives policy. So, based on the problem and theory you have chosen, what is a policy (a program or solution) that comes out of it? It can be an existing program/solution or one you envision working to make the issue better.
Each of these three sections should be comprehensive in nature (the problem, the theory, the policy) and well supported through research. Remember, write the paper as if the reader has no idea of problem, doesn’t know what the theory is and has never heard of the policy/program. I am not necessarily looking for all the information from the book as this assignment requires you to critically think and evaluate the problem.
