) Give a definition and description of homicide, define and describe the criminal behavior. You may want to includea legal definition of the crime, but more importantly, you need to discuss the behavioral patterns ofthe crime.To explain the criminal behavior that you choose, using two theories: Finally, your description of criminal behaviorand theories to explain it should be connected with a discussion of social control and public policy.Thus, you should address how effective formal (or informal) social control institutions are likely toreduce the criminal behavior you discuss. For example, would harsh punishments be more effectivethan rehabilitation to control thieves? Is it even possible to “correct” individuals’ criminal behavior?Briefly discuss the best role of police and courts with regards to the criminal behavior. For example,should we make longer prison sentences and add more police to the streets?CLARIFICATION OF KEYWORDS IN ASSIGNMENTHuman natureAll theories are based on assumptions of human nature. Further, assumptions of human natureoften influence whether or not a theorist stresses processes at the micro or macro level. Classicaltheorists assumed that humans are guided by individual interest. In contrast, many sociologiststypically stress the importance of group-level phenomena such as institutions and conformance torules.ConceptsConcepts organize and simplify phenomena, and are essentially definitions. In order for you toclearly outline a theory, you need to clearly define all of its conceptual attributes. Thus, ifsubcultures or collective efficacy are important in your theory, explain exactly what you mean bythose terms.Relationship between theoretical conceptsTheories provide explanations about one set of events by referring to other events. Thus, theoriesare based on relationships between concepts. Your assignment is to explain how the concepts ofyour theory are causally related to one another. In other words, you need to articulate how yourconcepts are interlinked to produce the effects to be explained or predicted.
