The course research paper is due no later 11:59 PM (EST) on Wednesday, April 16, 2014. The paper must explain delinquent behavior and potential correctional / prevention strategies through the lens of the Social Disorganization Theory. Explain the history and development of the theory. Explain the basic premise of the theory. For example, Social X theory was first proposed by Sarah Johns and Jon Doe (tell us about the background development of the theory). The theory assumes human behavior is influenced by _______.Tell your reader how the theory explains behavior and what causes the behaviors. Detail how your selected theory can be applied in terms of explaining the causes of delinquent behavior within juveniles. Using this theory, what strategies have been applied or could be applied to prevent, reduce, or correct juvenile delinquency? Make sure you directly relate the theory to a strategy that is designed to be a solution to the delinquency problem.Seek out examples of possible strategies in your review of scholarly literature. Provide a conclusion that summarizes your paper and how it serves to inform criminal justice policy.
? Must demonstrate the ability to utilize short quotes, and summary/paraphrase in proper APA format.
? Use Times New Roman 12 font when preparing the paper.
As a side note, this is a formal academic paper; not a personal conversation. Therefore, be aware that your writing must reflect a scholarly tone.
Avoid statements such as the theory believes, I believe, the authors feel, etc. Social science research is not about beliefs or feelings…it is about concrete evidence. Seek to persuade your reader through logic–not emotions and personal beliefs. Avoid judgmental and emotional language, as this often reveals that you are presenting an opinion based on prior beliefs and values rather than on evidence and logic.
I am more concerned with how you know what you know through documented scholarly research rather than how you feel or what you personally believe. Use statements such as "The study suggests…..", "The theory proposes…." The researchers assume…." "Evidence indicates….." "There is a correlation between high rates of violent crime and ______ ."
Do not make references to yourself…. avoid I, me, we. The purpose of this paper is to highlight a theory, its development, the researchers involved, the evidence, and application of the theory to delinquency prevention and reduction strategies.
