to select a specific offender. The selected offender can be a current or historical figure. The more information you have on the offender, the better your assignment will be. Each student will research the background of the selected offender and apply a criminological theory to explain the subject’s criminality. Based on the chosen criminological theory, you will then develop two crime prevention, control, or treatment efforts that could be applied to the offender and others similarly situated.Your Course Project must be typewritten, using 1½ line spacing, between 5-10 pages in length plus references/bibliography. Alternatively, you may prepare a video as your course project, provided that it satisfies the requirements set out in this syllabus and also accompanied by the text version. Every paper must have a cover page and formatted/referenced according to the American Psychological Association Writing Guidelines. Ensure that your work conforms to proper use of grammar, spelling and sentence structure. All Course Projects will be submitted through the appropriate Turnitin link available on Blackboard. Be advised that this program provides information on unlisted sources, and similarity scores (double submission) among other features of the system. That means you must list all sources used, and check your work properly before final submission. Feel free to use the “Turnitin for Self-check” link on Blackboard.

Your paper (or video) should do a good job of integrating materials from relevant sources. Also, this Paper must be new—not merely a version of some previously written Paper and not a Paper written for another class. (Trying to do that may result in getting an “F.”)

The similarity index for your Course Project and each Reflection Assignment must not exceed10%.
