Controversial public policy

Select an article on a controversial public policy issue from a major publication such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, or another periodical or newspaper. We’ll talk more about selecting good sources soon, but I recommend using a national publication that is recognized for its journalistic integrity (avoid, for example, politically-motivated sources, cable news, your uncle’s Facebook feedback) Ask these questions of the author of the article, being careful to provide “in text” evidence to support your analysis:

Does the author place the issue in a broad context? How?
Does the author suffer from tunnel vision?
Does the author discount or ignore other perspectives on the issue?
Does the author propose a creative solution to the issue?
Does the author address the issue comprehensively?
How might an interdisciplinary approach improve the author’s treatment of the issue?

Answer these questions in 250-300 words. Be sure to include the author, title, and URL of your source.

Evaluate the strengths and limitations of two sociological explanations of crime and explain which would be better at examining juvenile gang membership. Broadly, which of these explanations is the most persuasive to you in terms of evidence provided?

/in /by

Delinquency and crime

Question 1.
Compare and contrast the UCR and NCVS as sources of information about delinquency and crime. The NCVS is clearly better positioned to measure the dark figure (dark horse) of crime, or crime that goes unmeasured in official reporting statistics. Identify and evaluate at least two substantive changes to the NCVS that you would consider as helpful in increasing reporting and reducing the dark figure of crime. Be sure and consider any negative consequences or ramifications of the changes you suggest. Changes can be to the reporting methodology, collection techniques, sampling, items measured, and still other things.

Question 2.
Theories of crime are broad in scope and have varying amounts of evidentiary support in the literature. Evaluate the strengths and limitations of two psychological explanations of crime and explain which would be better at examining juvenile gang membership. Then, evaluate the strengths and limitations of two sociological explanations of crime and explain which would be better at examining juvenile gang membership. Broadly, which of these explanations is the most persuasive to you in terms of evidence provided? Consider another type of delinquency of your choosing which you believe best represents the theory you found most persuasive. In other words, what would the perfect example case be for this theory to demonstrate it works?

It is very important that every question is answered and every question within the questions are answered. You must fully answer both questions with no less than 350 words per question. I have uploaded chapter 2 and 3.
