- All the questions/prompts below must be answered in the analysis
- Provide a brief summary of the crimes of the criminal.
- In the second part of the textbook, the chapters go over different categories of crime. Which category does your offender fit into and why? Do not be vague.
- Which one of the criminological theories you have learned about possibly explains the behavior of your chosen offender and why? Think of behavior as to why or how that person came to be a criminal. Break down the theory and apply it to the offender you are analyzing.
