?TheCentervale town council has
recently becomeenamored with the idea of
incorporating a more theory-driven approach in the development and execution of
juvenile justice policies. While the council has a general understanding of
what delinquency theories encompass, it has a limited understanding of how
these theories are classified and how best they might be implemented.
?
?Tasks:
? As the local
expert on juvenile justice theory, you have been asked by the town council to
prepare a brief 7–9-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation describing the most
relevant theories that pertain to juvenile delinquency at both the individual
and the social levels. To save time, the council has asked you to limit your
overview to three individual-level theories and three social-leveltheoris.
? In your
presentation:
? Identify
whether each theory explains delinquency at the individual or the social level.
?Examine the basic
premise of each theory and summarize the research that has been used to develop
or evaluate the theory.
?Describe how the
theory may be used to support or explain various types of policies or practices
aimed at controlling or preventing juvenile delinquency.
? Your
presentation should have 7–9 slides, including references used in the research.
Provide details in the Notes section of the presentation.
? Include an
APA-formatted reference page that links back to your in-text citations and
supports your recommendations. Remember, you cannot have only in-text citations
or only references; you must have both because in-text citations and references
link to each other.
