Public Policy Implications of Criminological Theories
Depending on the way that crime is interpreted, the public policy implications change.

 Create a PowerPoint® presentation outlining the public policy implications of each of the criminological theories you have studied in this course; rational choice theory (Ch. 4), trait theories (Ch. 5), social structure theories (Ch. 6), social process theories (Ch. 7), social conflict theories (Ch. 8), and developmental theories (Ch. 9).

 Include a thorough overview of the policy implications of various theoretical interpretations of crime.

 Include 18-24 slides; and speaker notes that describe, in detail, the content of each slide.

 Follow APA formatting guidelines for PowerPoint® presentations.

 Use the Axia Library or the Internet to identify public policies and their results. The content of the slides should include the following:

 Definition of the theory
 Explanation of how crime is interpreted according to the theory
 Summary of policy implications
 Example public policy currently in effect
 Results of the public policy
