Violence in the US
I have to create an 8-10 slide
PowerPoint presentation describing violence in the United States. Be sure to
include the following and use academic sources or real-life empirical examples
to accentuate and support your findings and presentation. The following
questions to be answered are:
Describe the rates of violence
(murder, aggravated assault, rape, robbery) in the United States, and compare
them to at least 2 other industrialized countries.
Discuss some of the difficulties
of comparing crime rates across countries.
Describe some of the macro-level
social and economic factors that differentiate the United States from other
countries.
Discuss some of the potential
reasons for the United States’ high violence rate in comparison to other
industrialized countries.
Discuss which criminological
theories may be used to explain the United States’ high rate of violence.
