Write a paper on crime, select any type of crime and after supplying an overview of the issue apply a criminological theory discussed in class that tends to explain the causes of the criminal activity. Paper might include an overview of recent riots with a criminological explanation that the crime is so because people in authority are abusing their power. This might be explained through the application of conflict theory. A more simplistic approach could be that according to classical theory people are making a free choice to riot and break the law. So the topic is organized crime, mob, murder, extortion, things like that. This all comes from the book "the last gangster" by George Anastasia. You research what the book was about. The criminological theories that play into these crimes are, classical theory, theory of anomie, and the differential theory.
