Describe how the theories could be applied to criminal behavior in your community. 3. Take the theory that you believe would benefit your community most effectively and find four sources you can use to look at both sides of the issue, two supporting your choice and two not supporting your choice. Analyze and argue both sides of the theory selected. Your paper must be at least two pages in length. All parts of your essay should be composed in one, cohesive paper with an introduction and conclusion. Your essay must be formatted in APA style. A minimum of four academically accepted resources must be used to support your analyses. Any information from these sources should be cited and referenced in APA format.

The paper for this course requires students to select one criminological theory and evaluate how that theory affects an individual’s decision to engage in criminal behavior as well as how the theory assists criminal justice officials in understanding criminal behavior. This research paper is broken down into the following two components that will be completed during the course: 1. During this unit, you will submit a draft of a research paper that discusses the selected criminological theory, including an overview of your research paper and a review of reference sources. For this assignment, you will submit part I of your research paper. Part I of the research paper includes both an overview of the research project and a review of source references. You will select the criminological theory you are writing about and locate four academic sources to support your paper. Then, you will give an overview of your topic and a brief review of the literature you have selected. This part of your research paper should have the following components: An overview of your selected theory. In this section, you must identify the criminological theory that will serve as the basis for your research project and briefly describe that theory. Then, relate that theory to the U.S. criminal justice system and explain how the components of the U.S. criminal justice system, law enforcement, the judiciary, incarceration, and rehabilitation, support this theory. A review of the literature that will be included in your final paper. This section should include at least four academic sources, and you should give a brief description of each source and describe why it is relevant to your chosen topic. It should also compare and contrast the findings of the sources you have selected in relation to your topic. The intent of providing a review of sources is to demonstrate the student is headed in the right direction with research for the paper. Your paper must be at least two pages in length, not counting the title and reference page. The references must include a minimum of four scholarly resources and/or legal cases (stare decisis) that you plan to utilize in the research paper. Your paper must be formatted using APA style, and it should include a title page, running head, and reference page. Any information from your selected sources must be cited both intext and on the reference list.
Requirements. You are required to produce a conceptual map for each of your five proposed bibliographical sources. Remember, a “concept map typically represents ideas and information as boxes or circles, which it connects with labeled arrows in a downwardbranching hierarchical structure” (Wikipedia). The meaning and relationship between concepts can be articulated in linking phrases such as “means”, “depends”, “relates to”, “requires”, “presupposes”, “contributes to”, etc. You concept map should identify one (or more) core argument (s) at the top/centre of the map and the more specific concepts arrayed hierarchically below or concentrically around the core argument (s). You cannot invent these concepts, their meaning, their connections or their implications. They must come from the sources and must be explicitly mentioned by the authors. Using connector lines (you may add keywords or phrases to these lines to summarize the relationship between the topics they connect) indicate how the argument is connected to a concept, how a concept is connected to a subconcept, how this is connected to an example or a “fact”, and so on. At every step of the way you must provide references to each source with page numbers for each reference. Remember that concepts may be cross linked with each other to depict more complex relationships between them and their links with a particular theory or set of theories. Remember also that your core arguments (top or very centre of your mind map) should be connected with the other sources/maps by key words or phrases. Feel free to use concentric maps, hierarchical maps or horizontal maps. The length of your map will vary depending on the complexity of your mapping and this will depend on the amount of reading/research you have done to successfully complete this assignment. concept map: what is a concept map? Cmap.ihmc.us point is to develop assignment completely based on concepts (no narratives, embellishments, etc.; the concept map is about the skeleton of the assignment) put the topic at very centre of the map. out of each source, say at least 3 key concepts in the argument. Arrows pointing to 3 main concepts then, this concept comes out of this theory (another arrow + square) source/scholar ? concept ? theory ? examples theory: since all come from same theoretical framework, “theory”in this case I guess could mean like which parts/key points/ideas of neofunctionalism (e.g. spillover, etc.) idea of concept map is to get rid of desire to say what you think (mind map entirely about what sources are saying) mind map reveals how arguments are structured/organized here, you worry exclusively about clear definitions. Arguments are clearly mapped out using page numbers where things come from. organize map: what is first, second, third. Which ones are main, secondary and tertiary routes main routes, and then secondary arrows for examples: this concept can be illustrated by ___, etc. arguments are composed of following concepts, these concepts can be illustrated by (examples) map is to give visual feeling of depth and distance when it comes to thinking about arguments; about you telling us how far you can think about arguments/how far you can take the concepts and how many concepts you can distinguish end has to be completely connected to beginning can do concept map horizontally (lines), in a circle, in rectangles regardless of what app used to create map, you have to download it as pdf document and then upload it as pdf document on turnitin no printed versions HAVE AN INITIAL PAGE WITH THE CONCEPTUAL, and then subsequent pages contain individual branches of the map can use different colours for different sources sometimes 2 sources can share concept, but they may define it slightly differently (and important thing sometimes is in the details) can create little thin arrow showing how those similar concepts are connected these are my sources Brar, Bhupinder, Ashutosh Kumar, and Ronki Ram, eds.
