GCU SOC 220 Week 3 Benchmark – Crime in America Table and Essay
Details:
Create a table that lists a variety of crime types. Your table
should include a minimum of four types of crimes (four rows), two violent
crimes, and two economic crimes.
For each type of crime you list include the following in
separate columns:
1. An
explanation for the cause of the crime.
2. The
sociological theory that best fits what you have explained as the cause of that
type of crime.
In addition, separate from your table, write a paper of 250-500
words, proposing possible social solutions for each type of crime.
The table should show the type of crime, its cause, and the
appropriate sociological theory to explain that type of crime.
The paper (synopsis) is the final step and proposes social
solutions for each type of crime. If, for example, one type of crime is
property crime, in which someone’s property is taken or destroyed, you might
think that the root cause is poverty and that social process theory explains
this cause. In your proposal, you might describe an anti-poverty program that
would minimize poverty in this country and thus reduce this type of crime.
