Criminology Final Exam

In this exam, you will answer a total of two essay questions. One question must be from Part A and the other question must be from Part B.
It is important that your answers illustrate your depth of understanding. You should define all terms related to criminological theories and thoroughly explain the

theories used in your answers.
Your answer to each question should be approximately 2 pages in length, typed double-spaced using 12-point font and one-inch margins. All references must be fully

cited. You should use the APA style for writing and citations. (Pick two criminological theories from the following for each question below: Rational choice,

Deterrence, Routine activity, Anomie, Strain, or Social bond theory.)

Part A
Answer one of the following questions:

1. Identify two criminological theories covered in this course that operate at multiple levels of analysis. Compare and contrast those theories with respect to how

well they explain criminality at the different levels. Which theory do you think is more effective at this task? Why? (Pick two theories from the following: Rational

choice, Deterrence, Routine activity, Anomie, Strain, or Social bond theory.)

Part B

1. Find a recent (from the past 12 months) article on the New York Times website (http://www.nytimes.com/ ) regarding a contemporary crime or criminal justice issue.

Briefly summarize the content of this article. You should also include a full reference including URL. Next, select two criminological theories from those that you

have learned in this course. Discuss how each of these theories would contribute to understanding the issue in the article and/or refute the claims made in the

article. Be sure to fully explain the theories and how they relate to your article. Which theory do you think is more relevant to your article and why?
