Written Assignment     
In this assignment you will explain an offender with a biopsychosocial perspective, using research from empirical sources. This assignment is intended to provide an opportunity to integrate and apply the various concepts discussed in class and the readings. For this assignment you will research and provide potential theoretical explanations that may have contributed to a true-life offender's crime(s). You must choose two theories from two different categories of theories. The categories are:social theories (chapters 7, 8 and parts of 4 that discuss social aspects like parenting), biological theories (chapters 2 and 3) and psychological theories (chapters 5, 6, 9 and 10). In your analysis of the offender, explain how well these theories explain the offender. Importantly, also discuss research on this theory and include any limitations of this theory. The research should be on the theory and how it explains the type of crimes/violence/antisoci

Below is a chi-square and Cramers V statistic from Maricopa Countys Sheriff Offices Annual Report (2014-2015). The tables tests the relationship between whether a driver had an item seized by that drivers race. The chi-square is significant, so a relationship exists.

What does this tell us about the organization? How does the Cramers V weigh in here?

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of the final exam is to allow you to not only obtain information and knowledge about major theoretical approaches to understanding the causes of crime, but also transition you into thinking about what you do with this knowledge. You will write a (7-10 pages double-spaced) persuasive/argumentative essay. A persuasive/argumentative essay uses reason to show that one idea is more legitimate than another idea. It attempts to persuade a reader to adopt a certain point of view or to take a particular action. This type of essay must present evidence, facts, empirical data, statistics, theories, or examples, in order to defend ones claims. You are required to use information you have gathered from your readings over the course of the semester. Outside research is welcomed, but you will be graded on how well you summarize, integrate, and utilize information from the required readings from this course.
