Description
- First, review the Japanese Yakuza which applies to your offender and crime issue. Focus on the motivations, backgrounds, influences and potential reasons the offender acts. You are developing a criminology “profile” of these offenders (there may be more than one or many criminology theories we've studied that apply!)
- Using the Internet, look for 3 or 4 cases about some specific offenders in your crime area; learn about their personal history, upbringing, influences, previous offenses and other things that can give you insights into how they came to the place they are in their lives.
- Decide which criminology theories might apply to these offenders, and begin your thinking about the reasons they became offenders. The textbook is the only source you need for this part...no extra outside research on criminology theories is required unless you wish to.
