a serial murderer or a policy. If you select a serial murderer, you will write a 3-4-page biography of the individual followed by an 11-14 page analysis of at least 3 theories that might be used to explain why the individual committed the crimes they committed. Each theory must be explained in reference to the individual's biography and must be greatly detailed.

If you select a current criminal justice policy (i.e., three-strikes laws), you will write a 3- 4-page description of the policy followed by an 11-14 page analysis of at least 3 theories that might have been used as a foundation for that policy. Each theory must be explained in reference to the individual's biography and must be greatly detailed In other words, as noted in the constraints above, you will have some limited flexibility in choosing your topic. The research paper should be between 16 and 18 pages, making sure that your content fits in that range. The project must use current APA style and appropriate headings are expected. The page count does not include the title page, abstract, reference section, or any extra material.
