The research paper should include and be organized in the following way: 1) introduction; 2) describe the basic assumptions, arguments, and proponents of the theory analyzed. 3) Describe the empirical status of the theory analyzed. For this, you will have to select at least 10 peer-reviewed articles testing the selected theory and draw conclusions about its effectiveness to explaining crime. You will have to explain the types of crime explained by this theory (e.g., drug use, alcohol consumption, theft, violent fights) and state whether this theory is better at explaining some crimes than others. You will also explain the populations used to test this theory (e.g., youth, adults, students, gang members, women, Whites, African-American, Hispanics) and state whether this theory is better at explaining crime (mention the types of crime) within some populations than with others. If you find that a specific population has been analyzed repeatedly (e.g., students) write about the findings regarding this population. While you must draw general conclusions from the empirical status of this theory, you must also provide specific examples to support your conclusions. 4) Describe what other tests should be done on this theory to examine its validity. 5) Describe how politicians and/or practitioners could use this theory to prevent or reduce crime. 6) Conclusions, and 7) References. This paper should be based on research and not merely on your own personal opinions. When expressing your thoughts on an issue, express them in an academic way and support them with citations.
