Current Perspectives in Criminology | Get Solution Now
As a prominent and in-demand criminologist, you have been called by the local television news station to make an appearance on the evening news to offer an integrated theoretical model/explanation to explain why there has been an increase in certain crime types (e.g., commercial BNEs, domestic violence, anti-Asian hate crime, assault of police officers by COVID-infected people and stunt driving) since COVID-19 has erupted. To prepare for your upcoming interview with the evening news, you are requested to write a paper of about 12-15 double-spaced typed pages in length (3000 3750 words) (excluding the cover page and bibliography) in which you: 1.) develop a thesis statement/argument; 2.) propose an integrated theoretical model/explanation of the COVID-related crime increases – read ahead as necessary (see Tibbetts & Hemmens, 2019, Section 12) – draw a diagram to visually depict your integrated theoretical model – use Conflict Theory as the base/foundation of your integrated theoretical model – plug-in the effects of COVID on society (e.g., government decisions for public safety) – plug-in the criminological theories that may explain the COVID-related crime increases – plug-in the crime types that are said to have increased due to COVID. 3.) describe/explain your integrated theoretical model (as per your diagram) in detail, citing appropriate evidence to back-up your thesis statement/argument (hint: place the phenomenon of COVID-related crime increases within a socio-political-economic-cultural context); 4.) identify potential policy implications relative to each theory; and 5.) critically analyze your model in light of the multiple underlying philosophical assumptions 6.) offer concluding remarks Referencing Your term paper must include in-text citations (Author, Year, Page #) after every single fact that is not your own, and your bibliography must list every source cited in the body of your text. Please use APA 7 style for your in-text citations and bibliography, but please note there is no need to format your entire paper APA 7 style (e.g., no need for the running head at the top). Regardless of whether you are providing a direct quote or paraphrasing, please include the relevant page number(s) in every in-text citation, which will help you double-check your work before you submit and help us mark your work. Please be reminded that you must follow proper citation protocols and avoid plagiarism at all times. In addition to using the required readings from Tibbetts & Hemmens (2019), please incorporate a minimum of 15 outside scholarly/academic journal articles (not found on the reading list) and at least five newspaper articles (to substantiate the fact pattern presented above in the first paragraph). The quality of the outside academic sources you use will influence your grade. Attach a screenshot of the first page (i.e., with the Abstract and Introduction) of each journal article and newspaper after your bibliography, as evidence that the sources are legitimate
