You
\nwill complete a written assignment in which analyze the \u201cmind\u201d of a well-known
\noffender from each of the theoretical perspectives. Some examples of interesting
\nones: Aileen Wuornos<\/b>, Dennis Rader, John Wayne Gacy, Harold Shipman.<\/b>
\nYou must describe the offender\u2019s crime(s), provide biographical data, and
\ndiscuss and analyze the offender\u2019s history and criminal actions and behaviors
\nwithin the context of each of the major psychological\/neurobiological theories
\npresented (behavioral, psychoanalytic, mental illness [i.e., schizophrenia,
\npsychopathy, paraphilic disorder, and other], and neurobiological), along with
\nrelevant psychosocial factors in the offender\u2019s background which may have
\ncontributed to the development of their behavior. When writing about the
\noffender some subsections may not have solid evidence, you must apply the
\nknowledge you have as to why this might have resulted in what they did. For
\nexample if your offender was abused, could this may have resulted in
\nneurological issues or brain damage and what that may have led to. Think
\noutside the box. Infer and analyse with evidence to back up your opinion. Biographical
\nand offense data may be obtained via textbooks, \u201ctrue crime\u201d novels, scientific
\njournal articles, court records, periodicals (e.g., Time magazine or articles
\nfrom bona fide news outlets). Internet sources (e.g., Crime Library) may be
\nused SPARINGLY (i.e., limited to only ONE of your 15 sources) and only with
\npermission from the professor. Data are to be incorporated into the text for
\nthe purposes of supporting\/refuting each theory (i.e., not simply just to tell
\nthe offender\u2019s life story). Theoretical concepts, however, should be based upon
\ninformation retrieved from scholarly sources (i.e., textbooks and journal
\narticles). A MINIMUM of 15 separate sources should be used one of which has to
\nbe Schug and Fradella,(2015) The important thing to consider when choosing an
\noffender is to find one that interests you, and about which you would like to
\nlearn more. The more you are sincerely curious about your research, the more
\nenjoyable it will be for you, and the better your eventual paper will be.
\nLooking at it the other way, if you find your topic superficial and boring,
\nthen I probably will too. Refer to Aamodt and colleagues (2003)\u2014an excellent
\ncomprehensive bibliography of books on serial, mass, and spree killers\u2014for possible
\noffender topics and source material. Each of the following sections and
\nsubsections must be covered in your paper in order to be eligible for full
\ncredit. Organize your paper with headings and subheadings using the following
\nformat (note page length requirements, which are MINIMUM in most cases, and
\nwhen summed do not meet the page length requirement of the total paper): Section\/subsection:
\nIntroduction 1 \u2013 2 pages MAXIMUM – Brief relevant biographical information,
\ncrime description(s), Homicide classification by victims, type, and style (FBI)
\nApprox. 0.5 \u2013 1 page, Motivational typology of multiple murder (Fox &
\nLevin, 2012) Approx. 0.5 \u2013 1 page Behavioral theories 2 pages MINIMUM \u2013 INCLUDING
\nClassical conditioning, Operant conditioning, Social learning (Bandura),
\nPsychoanalytic theories 3 pages MINIMUM – Ego psychology (Freud) – Self
\npsychology (Kohut) – Object relations (Klein) – Attachment theory (Bowlby) –
\nPsychoanalytic theories of crime Mental illness 8 pages MINIMUM – Schizophrenia
\nand other psychotic disorders – Psychopathy – Paraphilic disorders – One other
\nDSM-IV\/DSM-5 mental disorder Neurobiological theories Approx. 0.5 \u2013 1 page –
\nHead injury – Structural\/functional deficits (e.g., prefrontal cortex, limbic
\nsystem) Psychosocial theories 1 page Conclusion Approx. 0.5 \u2013 1 page. The paper
\nmust be between 20 and 25 pages long (not including references) and be in APA
\nformat. This includes\u2014but is not limited to\u2014being doublespaced and in Times New
\nRoman, 12-point font, using APA style referencing. DO NOT RELY ON MSWORD.
\nMSWord may incorrectly devise reference lists. Writing assignments will be
\ngraded on the following criteria: organization, clarity, grammar, use of
\noutside sources and course materials, content (application of theory and use of
\nexamples), and proper APA style. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
