The purpose of this assignment is to begin to develop your skills in these areas. As such, you are required to select a theory covered in class to explain a form of deviance or crime of your choosing. In 5-6 pages double-spaced, you will first need to explain the main premises of the theory and then make an argument for <i style=\"cursor: auto;\">why <\/i>it effectively explains the form of deviance or crime that you have selected. Finally, using your theoretical argument as a guide, you need to make a policy recommendation related to the selected form of deviance or crime. Based on these guidelines, you may consider structuring your paper as follows:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; cursor: auto;\"><br style=\"cursor: auto;\"><\/p>\n<ul style=\"cursor: auto;\">\n<li style=\"font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"line-height: normal; cursor: auto;\"><\/span><b style=\"cursor: auto;\">Introduction<\/b> \u2013 A strong introduction will clearly convey brief context on the paper\u2019s topic (theory and type of deviance selected), the purpose of the paper (argumentative thesis statement), and how the remainder of the paper is to be organized (road map). Your thesis statement is not a statement of fact or intent, rather it includes both a claim\/position and reasoning behind it.<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 36px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; cursor: auto;\"><b style=\"cursor: auto;\"><\/b><br style=\"cursor: auto;\"><\/p>\n<ul style=\"cursor: auto;\">\n<li style=\"font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"line-height: normal; cursor: auto;\"><\/span><b style=\"cursor: auto;\">Theoretical Framework <\/b>\u2013 In this section, you should provide a summary of the key premises of the theoretical framework you have selected. In order to demonstrate <i style=\"cursor: auto;\">understanding <\/i>of the theory, it is imperative that you paraphrase wherever possible (avoid over-reliance on direct quotes). Where appropriate, original sources should be utilized as referenced material. NO application is required in this section, only overview\/summary.<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; cursor: auto;\"><b style=\"cursor: auto;\"><\/b><br style=\"cursor: auto;\"><\/p>\n<ul style=\"cursor: auto;\">\n<li style=\"font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"line-height: normal; cursor: auto;\"><\/span><b style=\"cursor: auto;\">Theoretical Application <\/b>\u2013 following your overview of the theory\u2019s main premises, the next section of your paper will work to apply that theory to the form of deviance or crime you selected. In this section, you should offer well-reasoned subpoints that work to substantiate your overarching thesis. A strong theoretical application will draw on peer-reviewed research to convey to the reader <i style=\"cursor: auto;\">why <\/i>the theory selected accurately explains the illicit behaviour. Could some other theory do a better job explaining why people engage in the behaviour? Why not? Why is the theory you selected an important lens for understanding the form of deviance or crime? These are questions to consider as you write this section. A high quality argument engages in analytical as opposed to descriptive writing, with one\u2019s own ideas clearly reflected in the argumentation (rather than simply summarizing existing research on the topic, sources are used as evidence to support your claims). The majority of your academic sources should be used in this section as evidence to support your points.<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; cursor: auto;\"><b style=\"cursor: auto;\"><\/b><br style=\"cursor: auto;\"><\/p>\n<ul style=\"cursor: auto;\">\n<li style=\"font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"line-height: normal; cursor: auto;\"><\/span><b style=\"cursor: auto;\">Practical Implications\/Policy Recommendation<\/b> \u2013 In this section, you\u2019ll need to discuss the practical implications of your theoretical argument in terms of a policy recommendation for the form of deviance or crime you chose. What can be learned from using the theory as a lens for understanding the behaviour? How can what was learned be applied to address, reduce, or alleviate harm caused by, the form of deviance or crime? Remember, your policy recommendation must be clearly and logically grounded in the insight gained from your theoretical application.<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; cursor: auto;\"><b style=\"cursor: auto;\"><\/b><br style=\"cursor: auto;\"><\/p>\n<ul style=\"cursor: auto;\">\n<li style=\"font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"line-height: normal; cursor: auto;\"><\/span><b style=\"cursor: auto;\">Conclusion \u2013 <\/b>Concisely restate your thesis and what you have demonstrated throughout your paper.
